Digital health technologies in swallowing care from screening to rehabilitation: A narrative review.
Review in Auris, nasus, larynx, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesDigital health technologies (DHTs) have rapidly advanced in the past two decades, through developments in mobile and wearable devices and most recently with the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and subsequent extension into the health space. DHT has myriad potential applications to deglutology, many of which have undergone promising investigations and developments in recent years. We present the first literature review on applications of DHT in swallowing health, from screening to therapeutics. Public health interventions for swallowing care are increasingly needed in the setting of aging populations in the West and East Asia, and DHT may offer a scalable and low-cost solution.
methodsA narrative review was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar to identify recent research on applications of AI and digital health in swallow practice. Database searches, conducted in September 2024, included terms such as "digital," "AI," "machine learning," "tools" in combination with "deglutition," "Otolaryngology," "Head and Neck," "speech language pathology," "swallow," and "dysphagia." Primary literature pertaining to digital health in deglutology was included for review.
resultsWe review the various applications of DHT in swallowing care, including prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment planning and rehabilitation.
conclusionDHT may offer innovative and scalable solutions for swallowing care as public health needs grow and in the setting of limited specialized healthcare workforce. These technological advances are also being explored as time and resource saving solutions at many points of care in swallow practice. DHT could bring affordable and accurate information for self-management of dysphagia to broader patient populations that otherwise lack access to expert providers.
