Magnetic Capsule Diagnoses GI Flow Problems
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/Q4aS9H35zoE
MIT and CalTech bioengineers have developed a tiny ingestible capsule the size of a quarter that can permit calculation of the speed and direction of gastrointestinal flow using magnetism. The capsule’s sensor calculates its position by determining its own distance from a magnetic source outside the body. This technology promises to help clinicians better understand and treat a variety of disorders including gastroparesis, that is pokey gastrointestinal flow, and the very familiar gastroesophageal reflux…..SOMEDAY SOON.
