The smartphone application, tailored to patients with HNC, will monitor patient progress while also providing a direct line to health care providers should any questions or concerns arise concerning their treatment. The mobile application will also feature instructional videos that describe the swallowing exercises in detail, providing patients with another resource to help improve their overall rehabilitation experience. Finally, home practice reminders and prompts will be used to help patients integrate the exercises into their daily routine.
