Sensing gut health: Ingestible sensors which will 'transform monitoring' to be showcased at Probiota Asia
The talk will be delivered by Professor Kourosh Kalantar-zadeh, from the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of New South Wales in Australia
While ingestible sensors have been hailed as the next big thing in human health monitoring and diagnostics, among the first to come top fruition is a low-cost human gas sensing capsule developed by Kourosh and his team to diagnose gastrointestinal disorders and assess the impact of diet on the gut.
The electronic capsule, which consists of gas sensors, micro-electronic circuits, tiny batteries and telecommunication components, does its work and then leaves the body naturally after passing through the gut.
His presentation will summariss the results of animal and human trials and assesses the market potential for this breakthrough device.
