Welcome to Tongue Tech
Objective measurement of tongue function for evidence-based diagnosis and rehabilitation
TPMD is the global reference system used worldwide to quantify tongue strength, endurance, and symmetry in various health conditions such as dysphagia, sleep-disordered breathing, orthodontics, and TMD.
- CE-marked
- 30,000+ devices
- 3.5M measurements
- Reimbursed by Japan’s national health insurance
Vision
We envision a healthcare landscape where tongue function is recognized as a fundamental determinant of breathing, swallowing, craniofacial development, posture, and long-term health.
By making tongue function measurable, understandable, and treatable, we aim to move from empirical observations to structured, traceable, and interdisciplinary care pathways.
Mission
Tongue Tech develops and distributes advanced medical instruments and digital technologies that enable objective assessment, monitoring, and improvement of tongue function.
By translating tongue dysfunctions into measurable clinical parameters, we empower professionals to deliver evidence-based, functional, and outcome-oriented care.
Why objective measurement matters
Tongue dysfunctions play a critical role in multiple pathologies, yet clinical evaluation remains largely subjective.
TPMD provides standardized and reproducible measurements of tongue strength and endurance. These quantitative, reproducible, and traceable measurements enable clinicians to:
- Objectively assess baseline capacity
- Monitor progress over time
- Justify and adjust rehabilitation strategies
- Improve interdisciplinary coordination
- Enhances patients’ motivation and involvement

Clinical Applications
TPMD is used across multiple disciplines to support diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome monitoring:
Dysphagia
Obstructive sleep apnea and snoring
Orthodontics and orofacial myofunctional therapy
Temporomandibular disorders
Measurement Process - From calibration to interpretation
Automatic self-calibration before each measurement
Quantitative assessment of strength, endurance, and symmetry
Objective data to guide diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up
The Main Advantages:
- No specific training required
- Easy to implement in daily clinical practice
- Standardized and reproducible measurements
- Immediate visual feedback for patients
- All measurements displayed on a single screen
- Secure data storage for longitudinal follow-up
- Data encourages patients’ motivation
