    Post-stroke dysphagia affects 8.1% to 80% of stroke patients, leading to complications like dehydration and aspiration pneumonia.

  • 2

    Current dysphagia assessment methods, including bedside assessments and VFSS, have limitations such as invasiveness and subjective interpretation.

  • 3

    Multi-sensor systems combining nasal airflow, acceleration, and sound signals may improve dysphagia detection compared to single-sensor methods.

  • 4

    The study focused on 108 healthy adults and 108 stroke patients to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-sensor system for dysphagia assessment.

  • 5

    Ethical approval was obtained for the study, which adhered to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and involved informed consent from participants.
