SwallowCare Provider Research Survey
Thank you for participating in this survey. We’re developing an app designed to support individuals living with dysphagia. To ensure it’s clinically useful and grounded in real-world practice, we’re inviting healthcare professionals like you to share your insights and experiences. Your feedback will help us co-design a tool that’s not only user-friendly for patients, but also supports delivering high-quality, efficient and empowering care. Your insight is essential to building solutions that work—clinically, practically, and personally. We’re grateful for your expertise and look forward to collaborating with you as we move forward.
