https://rehacareai.com/oral-care Background Aspiration pneumonia is one of the important risks that threaten the health and safety of elderly people in nursing care settings. The cause is thought to be food or saliva accidentally entering the respiratory tract, causing bacteria to cause infection in the lungs, but especially for elderly people whose oral functions such as swallowing and swallowing have deteriorated, it is common to Aspiration is more likely to occur in situations where swallowing is difficult, and the risk of serious illness tends to increase. It is also said to be the biggest cause of fatal accidents in nursing care settings. However, even though appropriate evaluation of oral function and efforts to maintain and improve oral function are considered important, only a small number of facilities are able to employ professionals such as speech-language pathologists, and outside professionals such as dental hygienists are not available. The reality is that there is not enough cooperation between the two. Furthermore, oral function is less visible than physical functions such as walking, so while it is considered a highly important initiative, oral care tends to be given a lower priority. Oral function AI analysis function The oral function AI analysis function is a function that uses AI to analyze the oral function of elderly people, and proposes a program to numerically evaluate and improve the function. Specifically, we conduct a test in which a person repeatedly utters a set sound, and a test in which the maximum vocalization time is measured after drinking water, making it easy to evaluate lip and tongue movements and the risk of aspiration pneumonia. AI performs analysis in a few seconds and proposes the most suitable program based on the results. Analysis results can be printed as a report or viewed on a web page. It can also be easily shared with users, families, and care managers, allowing for convincing
explanations based on objective evaluations.
