System for assisting in the simulation of the swallowing of a patient and associated method

Abstract

A system includes a device for detecting the swallowing of a patient including at least one sensor for detecting swallowing configured to measure a swallowing signal, a processor for processing the swallowing signal connected to the device for detecting swallowing and configured to characterize the swallowing signal. The system includes an augmented reality or virtual reality headset configured to display virtual content to the patient, a virtual content processor connected to the processor for processing the swallowing signal and to the augmented reality or virtual reality headset, the virtual content processor being configured to deliver the virtual content to the augmented reality or virtual reality headset and to adapt the virtual content delivered according to the swallowing signal received from the processor for processing the swallowing signal.
