Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) There are growing concerns about the increased number of the elderly with deglutition disorder as the super-aging of the population has been advancing. Deglutition disorder is caused by aging, disease, and psychological factors. It becomes more difficult to detect the decreased swallowing function and predictor of disorder in an early stage since there are more elderly people who live and eat alone. It is therefore considered necessary to develop the support functions for the dysphagia rehabilitation which is effective in preventing deglutition disorder and maintaining and recovering swallowing function and the method to easily evaluate swallowing function in daily environments without requiring a face-to-face diagnosis by a medical expert. History taking, inspection and palpation, and screening tests are generally conducted first in order to evaluate swallowing function properly. A complete exam is further performed using a sophisticated equipment when the patients are diagnosed as possibly having disorder. In this speech I present the method to evaluate swallowing function based on the state of laryngeal elevation using depth and RGB images that can be easily measured in a non-invasive and non-contact way. Moreover, the method to evaluate abdominal breathing, which is performed as indirect therapy of dysphagia rehabilitation for strengthening respiratory muscles, is introduced.
