The McKay High School InvenTeam invented an adaptive flow rate cup for people with dysphagia. One design has two disks which can be rotated to control flow. The other uses a servo-controlled ball valve which can be adjusted via a smartphone app. Both configurations are dishwasher safe and aesthetically pleasing for adults to use as they adjust to and recover from dysphagia.
