iOS Universel / Medecine
Swallow Prompt helps people who have difficulty in managing excess buildup of saliva. It helps those with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, Stroke, MND, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebral Palsy. It will vibrate or beep at a set interval to prompt the user to swallow and prevent excess saliva buildup.
Also available on Apple Watch for an even more discreet reminder.

A journal article published in the International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders in 2001 found that when people with Parkinson’s Disease used a swallow reminder their saliva management improved. (Drooling in Parkinsons’ disease: a novel speech and language therapy intervention. Int J Lang Commun Disord. 2001;36 Suppl:282-7. Marks L, Turner K, O'Sullivan J, Deighton B, Lees A).
Swallow Prompt can be used during normal device usage (excluding phone calls) and when your device is in standby mode (screen off) in order to preserve battery charge.
