Systems and methods for the predictive assessment and neurodevelopment therapy for oral feeding
First Claim
1. A system for improving an oral feeding ability of a patient, the system comprising:
- an assessment device to contact a patient and collect data related to an oral feeding ability of the patient;
a computing device containing a processor to execute an assessment and therapy application; and
the assessment and therapy application to;
receive the data related to the oral feeding ability;
predict one or more areas of neurological muscle activity that need further development while receiving the data related to the oral feeding ability;
wherein the assessment device determines that the patient has one of a weak NNS suck pressure less than or equal to ten cmH2O and an appropriate NNS suck pressure in a range of fifteen-twenty cmH2O; and
develop a neurological therapy treatment for improving the one or more areas of neurological muscle activity that need further development.

10. A method for improving an oral feeding ability of a patient, the method comprising:
-
contacting a patient with an assessment device to collect data related to an oral feeding ability of the patient; executing an assessment and therapy application on a processor of a computing device in communication with the assessment device; and at the assessment and therapy application executing on the processor; receiving the data related to the oral feeding ability;
the assessment and therapy application executing on the processor determining that the patient has one of a weak NNS suck pressure less than or equal to ten cmH2O and an appropriate NNS suck pressure in a range of fifteen-twenty cmH2O;predicting one or more areas of neurological muscle activity that need further development while receiving the data related to the oral feeding ability; and developing a neurological therapy treatment for improving the one or more areas of neurological muscle activity that need further development. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
