Dysphagia is the medical term for swallowing difficulties. Those with dysphagia have problems swallowing certain foods or liquids and some may be unable to swallow at all. The texture of the diet and/or consistency of fluids may need to be changed as advised by a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT).
The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) framework is an international set of descriptors describing texture modified foods and thickened liquids for people with eating, drinking and swallowing problems (dysphagia).

We are delighted to announce the launch of the one and only automatic beverage solution for people with Dysphagia.
