Health for life

Do you have diabetic gastroparesis (delayed emptying of food from the stomach)? The SmartPill may help determine if you do.

After swallowing, the pill travels through your digestive tract for a day or two collecting data such as:

• Gastric (stomach) emptying time
  
• Small bowel transit time
  
• Colon transit time
  
• Whole gut transit time
  
• Temperature
  
• Pressure patterns
  
• pH

The data is sent wirelessly from the pill to a device you wear on your body for 3 to 5 days. After the pill passes ("painlessly and naturally within 24-48 hours"), data from the receiver is reviewed by you and your physician.

Ive included an image of the SmartPill capsule. It measures 26mm by 13mm (about 1 inch by 1/2 inch).
