SwallowSlate: Texture Log

SwallowSlate helps caregivers document food and drink texture tests against clinician-provided care plans, then prepare clear evidence handovers.

Keep the preparation workflow together

Create a private care profile using the drink and food levels already provided by a qualified swallowing professional. Record who supplied the plan and add the notes needed during preparation. SwallowSlate keeps every observation tied to that recorded target, without choosing or prescribing a level.

Document repeatable preparation checks

• Use a built-in 10-second timer for a drink flow test.
• Enter the volume remaining in the correct 10 mL syringe.
• Record structured food observations such as fork pressure, spoon tilt, fork drip, and particle size.
• Add the serving temperature and preparation notes when useful.
• Link an optional preparation photo through the Android system picker.
• Keep uncertain or incomplete observations visible for review.

Build a transparent evidence trail

The preparation runway shows what was tested, the target recorded in the care plan, the observed level, and whether the result aligns or needs review. Select related preparations to create a meal audit and add handover notes for the next caregiver or care-team conversation.

Prepare useful handovers

Export a profile's evidence as a PDF handover, export structured records as CSV, or create a JSON backup. The Android system file picker lets you choose where an export is saved. A validated JSON import can replace the current local workspace when moving an existing backup.

Works without an account

SwallowSlate runs without an account or an internet connection. Care profiles, plan notes, test observations, photo links, and meal audits stay in app-private storage on the device unless you choose an export destination. System pickers grant access only to the photo or file you select.

Important scope

SwallowSlate is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

SwallowSlate documents preparation evidence. It does not diagnose dysphagia, prescribe a food or drink level, confirm that swallowing is safe, or replace a qualified swallowing professional. Use only the current care plan and complete testing guidance supplied by the person's care team. Stop serving and contact the care team if swallowing changes, coughing or choking occurs, or the plan is unclear. Call local emergency services for an emergency.
