Prof. Elaine Kwong on measuring swallowing events with ultrasound imaging
From hospital to home: AI ultrasound technology popularises swallowing disorder From hospital to home: AI ultrasound technology popularises swallowing disorder assessment
Prof. Elaine KWONG Yee-lan, Associate Director of Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA), Associate Professor in the Department of Language Science and Technology at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and a speech therapist , was recently interviewed on HOY TV’s programme “Health Concern Group” and Ming Pao Daily News, where she explained in detailed the portable artificial intelligence ultrasound swallowing assessment technology developed by her and her team.
Traditionally, swallowing disorder assessments require patients to make in-person visits to hospitals or clinics for X-ray imaging or invasive endoscopic swallowing examinations administered by healthcare professionals or speech therapists. This ground-breaking AI-powered ultrasound solution harnesses advanced algorithms to overcome these limitations, enabling objective swallowing assessments in community settings or at home, greatly improving diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, and allowing patients to receive timely and appropriate treatment.

從醫院到家中：AI超聲波技術推動吞嚥障礙評估普及化
香港理工大學智齡研究院副院長、語言科學及技術學系副教授兼語言治療師鄺伊蘭教授，近日接受HOY TV節目《健康關注組》及明報《常識學堂》專訪，詳細介紹她與團隊研發的便攜式人工智能超聲波吞嚥評估技術。
以往，吞嚥障礙評估需要患者親身前往醫院或診所，接受由醫護人員或語言治療師進行X光造影或入侵性內窺鏡吞嚥檢查。這項突破性的人工智能超聲波技術，利用先進的演算法，彌補傳統檢查方式的不足，讓客觀的吞嚥評估得以在社區或家中進行，大幅提升診斷效率與準確度，助患者能夠及早獲得適切診治。
