Extensional viscosity polymer network: NestleRecent Research Landscape

Aspiration risks during swallowing arise from unpredictable fluid fragmentation in the pharynx. This technology engineers the cohesive forces of the liquid bolus to ensure safe transport for dysphagia patients.

What technical problems is Nestle addressing in Extensional viscosity polymer network?

Aspiration risk during swallowing

(8)evidences

Uncontrolled bolus flow leads to airway penetration in dysphagia patients. Managing fluid fragmentation prevents pulmonary complications.

Undetected swallowing dysfunction

(1)evidences

Low-quality input signals lead to unreliable diagnostic outputs in swallowing assessments. Ensuring signal integrity prevents false clinical classifications.
