Objective:

To introduce a new electronic capsule designed to improve the accuracy of diagnosing digestive disorders by measuring gaseous biomarkers.

Approach:

• Device Description: An electronic capsule that patients can swallow, which measures gases like hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in the digestive system and transmits data wirelessly.
• Data Transmission: The capsule transmits data every five minutes to a handheld monitor, which sends the information via Bluetooth to a mobile phone for online monitoring or cloud storage.

Key Findings:

• The capsule has shown near 100 percent accuracy in measuring hydrogen as a biomarker.
• Breath test accuracy is significantly lower compared to the capsule's measurements.

Interpretation:

Conclusion:

The device is anticipated to enter mass production.
