Using a bolus during swallow exercises can be helpful to support functional carryover to eating and drinking. However, BiSSkApp is designed to be used with saliva swallows – a dry swallow.

Clinician Specialist Anneke explains why this distinction matters – and how using BiSSkApp supports safe, targeted rehabilitation.

Some amazing news to start the year!

Starting 2026 with a fist-pump moment. What made the difference to our client’s swallowing at 2.5 years post traumatic brain injury? BiSSkApp.
Congratulations to this hard working client and his family, our brilliant OSP clinician Patrick, the innovators at Swallowing Technologies and the support of icare NSW. Thanks also to Evolve SP for delivering this fabulous VFSS news!

Swallowing problems don't mean you have to stop doing the things that make life meaningful – like going out for a coffee with friends! ☕️

“Once I found out how my body works – it got easier.”

When Eric experienced multiple strokes, rehab with visual feedback helped him understand how he was swallowing – and change it.

With a simple interface and real-time biofeedback, BiSSkApp is designed to do exactly that. Patients can see what their muscles are doing and build the brain–muscle connection needed for better swallowing.

People like Eric can live with physical limitations that make things like sensor placement difficult. But it’s the small wins that keep you motivated: being able to share a meal with friends and family, or in Eric’s case, “eating fried chicken again.” 🍗

“Patient-Led Technologies” isn’t just something we say. It’s something we do.

BiSSkApp is a dysphagia rehab tool built by people who ‘get it’ – like Eric, who went through rehabilitation after a stroke.

At Swaltech, it's our mission to provide a way to make rehab more effective and more accessible, wrapped up a system that is easy to use – for anyone.

No two patients are the same. So why train them like they are?
With BiSSkApp, you can easily tailor your rehab program based on the underlying cause of their swallowing problems – whether that’s strength or skill.
 
In our latest webinar, Maggie-Lee Huckabee and Anneke Duyvestyn walk you through how to design a plan that’s:
• Rooted in the right diagnosis
• Structured for neuroplasticity
• Balanced with patient energy and motivation
