During a recent visit to the Dysphagia Unit of Prof Pere Clavé in Barcelona (using the RoseCup system in Dysphagia treatment and research) Lifemere was asked to design special attachments for the RoseCup system to specifically address the feeding challenges in Cerebral Palsy. Several clinicians pointed this need out to us in the past as well.
Lifemere invites anyone with knowledge and/or personal experience of the feeding difficulties in Cerebral Palsy to contact us, especially if you have used the RoseCup system in feeding a client with CP.
We are interested in your experience of the problems to feed the client as well as suggestions of how we could change the device to address the problems.
Early feedback (before September 2024) will be appreciated, but later contributions will be accepted as well.
Please email Gabriël at info@lifemere.com.
Thank you and may your meal times be enjoyable, safe, nutritious and remain a great experience!
Dr Gabriël Roux
The science of texture-modified foods and thickened
liquids has reached a point of excellence under the
leadership of the IDDSI (International Dysphagia Diet
Standardisation Initiative). The considerable efficiency
gap that remains in managing Dysphagia
lies in intake devices.
More than 10 companies worldwide manufacture intake
devices, but in some care sectors, more than 90% of
patients still use spoons and open cups!
Professionals and carers need education and training,
and the industry needs guidelines, research, and
stimulation to improve the design of intake devices.
Congratulations to the IDDSI launching for the first time in
Europe with its inaugural congress in Florence, Italy, on
February 27-28, 2025. It represents a significant milestone
in enhancing the quality of care for individuals with
swallowing difficulties in Europe.
Dr Gabriel Roux will represent Lifemere in Florencе.
