Flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) is a standard instrumental method for diagnosing dysphagia in adult patients. With the growing prevalence of neurological, neurodegenerative and chronic diseases, particularly among older adults, there is an increasing need for diagnostic procedures that are not only clinically valid, but also organisationally efficient and understandable to the patient. The effectiveness of FEES is significantly influenced by the patient's level of awareness, their cooperation, and the organisation of the diagnostic process.
