- Dysphagia Diagnosis and Treatment
Research Biography
Prof Omari is widely known for innovative and transformative research within the field of neuro-gastroenterology and motility. His research has advanced understanding of pathophysiology and treatments for common motility diseases and has improved diagnosis through enhanced understanding of swallowing physiology and biomechanics. This work has led to the invention and patenting of methods to process complex biomechanical data from catheter-based tests including derivation of novel analytics that described swallowing physiology and predict swallow safety (lung aspiration risk) without radiology. This diagnostic technology was deployed for routine use via the subscription-based web application – Swallow Gateway.
