Σύνοψη

Oral Dribbling of Cerebral Palsied Patients has been a social embarrassment to them and people close to them. It has been found that if patients are provided wlth a system that reminds them to swallow at suitable intervals then this control of dribbling or management of saliva is improved. With such a system in mind several techniques were tried, all based on an electronic circuitry but with different methods of stimulus to act as a reminder. One particular technique, a vibrating watch-like wrist device, was considered most suitable (specifically from the aesthetic point of view). This technique has then evolved into Its final stage of a usable commercIal prototype.
