SwalTech is a brand that is dedicated to helping people with swallowing disorders improve their quality of life. They serve as a commercial conduit for transferring health technology developed at the University of Canterbury Rose Centre for Stroke Recovery and Research to clinicians and patients in need. Founded in 2021 by Maggie-Lee Huckabee and Steve Wakefield, SwalTech creates innovative technologies that enable increased and equitable access to rehabilitation, benefiting patients through improved health outcomes, quality of life, and community integration, while also reducing healthcare costs for the community.

One of their notable products is the Biofeedback in Strength and Skill Training (BiSSkiT) software, originally developed as a research tool by Maggie-Lee. This software detects and displays muscle activity using a surface electromyography (sEMG) device, helping clinicians in the EU, Australia, and New Zealand markets with rapid translation of research to clinical practice. This success led to the development of another product called the ToMaSSApp.

SwalTech's team is composed of experienced professionals who are passionate about their work. With their expertise in clinical research, engineering, regulatory affairs, and quality assurance, they are committed to bringing innovative and life-changing technology to the medical industry. Through their dedication and collaborative efforts, SwalTech aims to make a positive difference in improving the lives of individuals with swallowing disorders
