SGW analysis & reporting ecosystem

SGW Pharyngeal
Research Report

SGW is the conduit. Upload a study once, and every layer of analysis flows from it into one fully comprehensive research report.

Across one pharyngeal high-resolution manometry study, SGW collects the symptom burden (SSQ) and runs the primary analysis on swallows that you select and code for volume and viscosity: the standard Core Outcomes Set, plus the unique Pressure-Flow Analysis metrics and predictors that set SGW apart. You flag the illustrative example swallows and other non-swallow events. The USPhL Classifier reads the SGW export file, performs a protocol check, and suggests a Leuven Classification for your confirmation. Any swallow example with FEES or VFSS video can go to Swallow Sync for timing analysis and synchronisation. Every saved item is then uploaded and curated in the reporting app — alongside the study details, history and indicators you enter directly — into the SGW Pharyngeal Research Report, compiled on your desktop and linked back to its source study on SGW.

The ecosystem

Everything flows through SGW

The conduit

SGW

Where every study is uploaded and analysed — the SSQ symptom data, the manometry file, the primary analysis on the swallows you select and code, and the exemplar swallows and non-swallow events you flag. Everything downstream reads what SGW exports.

Core Outcomes Set

The standard metrics, on swallows coded for volume and viscosity.

Pressure-Flow Analysis Unique to SGW

Metrics and predictors derived from pressure and impedance together — beyond what the core set describes.

Reads the study metrics export

USPhL Leuven Consensus Classifier

Takes the whole study’s metrics (PFA & COS), checks the protocol and process, and confirms the Leuven Classification — saved as the USPhL file.

Reads the pressure-admittance export

Swallow Sync

Takes a swallow’s topography export and runs timing analysis and synchronisation against its FEES or VFSS video — so the report can identify and display the key video frames at specific swallow events: laryngeal vestibule closure, UES opening, and velo-, meso- or hypopharyngeal contraction onset and offset.

Reads every saved item

SGW Report

Curates every saved item, plus the study details, history and indicators you enter directly — offline, independent of SGW. Each report carries the SGW study number and links back to its source study.

Every step starts in SGW. Upload, select, code and analyse the swallows once, then export what each part of the record needs: the metrics go through USPhL for a protocol and process check and a confirmed classification; swallow examples with FEES or VFSS video go through Swallow Sync for timing and synchronisation, so the report can show the key video frames at specific swallow events; the other examples and the SSQ data export directly. Each saved item is uploaded and curated in SGW Report on the desktop, where you also enter the study details, history and indicators yourself — offline, independent of SGW. The USPhL file and some examples are enough to generate a report; the rest enrich it. Every report carries the unique SGW study number and links back to its source study, with no data returned to SGW.
The output

What ends up in the report

A report needs only two things from the workflow: the USPhL classification file and some examples. Everything else enriches it. Around those, you enter the study details, history and indicators directly in the reporting app — patient and referral details, the procedure, protocol and placement, presenting symptoms and prior VFSS or FEES findings — offline and independently of SGW. At its fullest, the report reads as one continuous account of a patient’s swallow function at that point in time, rather than six separate exports lined up side by side. It carries the symptom burden reported on the SSQ, both longitudinally and at assessment; the Core Outcomes Set metrics together with the Pressure-Flow Analysis metrics and predictors unique to SGW; the Leuven classification confirmed in USPhL; and, for any swallow example also captured on FEES or VFSS, the timing and synchronisation results from Swallow Sync — which let the report identify and display the key video frames at specific swallow events, such as laryngeal vestibule closure, UES opening, and the onset and offset of velo-, meso- and hypopharyngeal contraction, with the intervals between them. It closes the loop with the evidence itself: the swallow examples and other examples — retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction, for instance — that a reader would otherwise have to go looking for in the raw study. And because every report carries the unique SGW study number and generates a link back to the source study, the record and its evidence stay connected.

Built for the desktop, not the cloud.

SGW Report runs locally. Every metric, classification, timing result and swallow example it draws together stays on the machine compiling the report, and the study details, history and indicators are entered there too — offline, independent of SGW. Each report keeps its SGW study number and a link back to the source study, so the record stays connected to its evidence without any data flowing back to Swallow Gateway.
