Objective measurements assessing tongue functions for evidence-based diagnosis and rehabilitation
TPMD (by JMS) is one of the global reference systems for quantifying tongue strength, endurance, and symmetry across various health conditions including dysphagia, sleep-disordered breathing, orthodontics, and TMD.

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.
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 functional evidence-based, 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 rehabilitation strategies
Improve interdisciplinary coordination
Patients feel more reassured, are more motivated, and are more engaged in their treatment.
Without data, you’re just another person with an opinion.

TPMD supports clinicians across multiple tongue-related disorders
From swallowing and airway care to orthodontics and TMJ management, TPMD gives evidence-based guidance across the full clinical pathway.
Dysphagia and other tongue dysfunctions
Obstructive sleep apnea and snoring
Malocclusions and orofacial anomalies
Temporomandibular disorders
Clinicians and patients trust TPMD
Real feedback from users who rely on TPMD for objective measurement and better outcomes.
“TPMD has transformed our diagnostic workflow and given our team confidence in every treatment plan.”
