The TIMS Medical team is excited to announce that ASPEKT-C will be included in upcoming releases of TIMS MVP in 2025, following close collaboration with The Swallowing Rehabilitation Research Laboratory.  

The team at TIMS (www.tims.com) is honored to support the implementation of ASPEKT-C which assists clinicians in identifying the underlying mechanisms of impaired swallowing safety and efficiency. Additionally, the ASPEKT-C Method also enables clinicians to compare swallowing parameters to reference values in healthy individuals, offering valuable insights for improved care.
