Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app that uses artificial intelligence can help older adults with swallowing difficulties eat more safely. The app analyzes photos of food and drinks to check if the texture is safe. Researchers will compare 332 adults aged 60+ who use the app plus standard care against those who only get standard care, over 16 weeks. The main goal is to see if the app helps people stick to their prescribed food textures.
