GIT motility monitoring system
SmartPill™
The SmartPill™ monitoring system is a system for diagnostics of gastrointestinal tract motility, which provides you with a complete transit profile. The system is capable of recording and subsequently evaluating clinical data acquired by means of an edible (indigestible) motility capsule, which measures pressure, pH, temperature and transit time through the digestive tract.
ADVANTAGES
