We are pleased to announce the upcoming research seminar hosted by the Healthcare Convergence Department at Seoul National University's Graduate School of Convergence Science and Technology.
- Date: Monday, May 12, 2025, 12:00–13:00
- Speaker: Prof. Ju-seok Ryu (Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine)
- Topic: Development of Rehabilitation Medical Devices Using Biomechanics and Machine Learning
- Lecture Overview:
Dysphagia and sleep apnea are conditions influenced by the shared anatomical structures of the oral and pharyngeal regions. Specifically, the base muscles of the tongue, which are responsible for chewing and swallowing, can collapse backward when lying down, leading to severe snoring and sleep apnea.
In the field of medical devices, existing electrical stimulation treatment devices for dysphagia can be adapted for sleep apnea therapy. Additionally, machine learning techniques previously applied to dysphagia research can be extended to sleep apnea studies, paving the way for innovative technological advancements.
This lecture will introduce how anatomical and biomechanical knowledge, along with pathophysiology, have been utilized to develop novel medical devices.
