"Anti-Choke Mug" – Chula Innovation for Neuro Patients to Drink Water Confidently<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Choking<\/b> is a potentially life-threatening problem, especially for the elderly suffering from neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s diseases, etc.  It can cause pneumonia, lung infections, sepsis, and eventually death.<\/p>\n

To address this problem, Professor Roongroj Bhidayasiri, M.D., a neurology specialist, and head of <\/b>the Excellence Center for Parkinson’s Disease & Related Disorders<\/a><\/b>, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society<\/b>, and his research team then developed an "anti-choke mug"<\/b> to help patients drink water safely.<\/p>\n

"We designed an anti-choke mug so that users can drink and swallow water while the esophagus is in a good position, and the trachea is closed to reduce the risk of choking."  Made with the same type of material as baby bottles, the mug is designed to look like a regular drinking mug, and not a medical device, with bright colors to stimulate users to want to drink more water.<\/p>\n

Prof. Dr. Roongroj explains, "This mug allows the elderly to drink without tilting their neck backward to reduce choking. <\/b>It can ensure the appropriate amount of water, duration of drinking, the right angle, and drinking posture. These are things that will help reduce choking in the elderly and patients.<\/b>"  In addition, the anti-choke mug has a special design to help Parkinson’s patients.<\/p>\n

"The handle of the mug is designed to have a bulging part at the bottom to help Parkinson’s patients who cannot grip properly, so that they can have a strong and stable grip, thus becoming more confident in drinking water."<\/p>\n

Currently, the anti-choke mug is still a prototype, and is being tested with a large number of real users who are in-patients and outpatients who use the mugs in their daily lives. These mugs are fitted with sensors to monitor water drinking behavior.<\/p>\n
