Telemetry capsule for pressure monitoring in the gastrointestinal tract

Abstract

In this paper, the pressure monitoring telemetry system has been designed and implemented for an accurate pressure measurement inside the gastrointestinal tract with minimizing pain and inconvenience. The system is composed of a miniaturized pressure measurement capsule and an external receiver. The performance of the telemetry capsule for monitoring pressure in the gastrointestinal tract is demonstrated by the results of animal in-vivo experiments.
