Grutio: System for Reproducing Swallowing Sensation Using Neck-Skin Movement

“…Although the risks associated with EMS can certainly be reduced by optimal manipulation, from an ease-of-use perspective, a less invasive and less risky method uses skin stimulation. The SUI [15] is an example of an attempt to reproduce the sensation of drinking. A device that simulates the sound, vibration and pressure change of drinking through a straw was developed to simulate the sensation of drinking without ingestion though it cannot be said that these devices reproduce meals, since they are mainly addressing the first and second phase.…”
