Bioresorbable intestinal devices with embedded resorbable sensors for gastrointestinal monitoring

Swallowable sensors are limited by how long they stay in place. A capsule passes through the gut within a day or two, so it can only take a snapshot when conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease need to be tracked over weeks without the risk of obstruction. Read more
