What if an ingestible wireless capsule did the job? That’s exactly what experts at the University of Maryland have developed. The team has created what they call an ingestible bioimpedance ...

A team of researchers has unveiled a revolutionary ingestible bioimpedance sensing device capable of continuously and non-invasively monitoring the integrity of gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal barriers.

The capsule was able to generate power from stomach acid for an average of six days—much longer than previous devices, which were capable of harvesting energy for minutes or hours. Some earlier ...

During their tests with mice, the ingestible capsule was able to successfully differentiate between healthy and damaged gastrointestinal tissue. It was able to detect subtle vibrations in the gut ...
