Recently, a research paper published in the international magazine Trends in Biotechnology, researchers from RMIT University have developed a high-tech gas-sensing capsule that can directly map data in the intestines. Sending to a mobile phone may open up a new world for individual health diagnosis, analysis, and development of disease therapies.
Gastrointestinal gas is directly associated with colon cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease, and can potentially be used as a key biomarker to predict an individual's overall health; this new technology developed by researchers can be utilized A swallowable capsule consisting of a gas sensor, a microprocessor, and a wireless high-frequency transmitter to determine the concentration of selected intestinal gases; Professor Kourosh Kalantar-zadeh said that it is currently used to measure non-invasive intestinal gases Methods such as breath detection may not be reliable.
Intestinal microbes can produce gas as a by-product of metabolism, but researchers know little about how these metabolic by-products affect the health of the body; therefore, accurate measurement of gas concentrations in the gut may accelerate research and understanding of intestinal microbes by researchers. It provides some help to reveal how intestinal microbes cause gastrointestinal disorders and food absorption problems, thus providing hope for the development of new treatment methods.
The newly developed high-tech capsules in this article may help researchers clearly reveal how special foods affect the health of the intestines; nearly half of Australia's population has complained about body digestion in the past 12 months. The development of high-tech capsules can be used as a simple tool to systematically track the metabolic processes of foods ingested by people. Animal experimental studies have shown that this capsule has certain effectiveness and safety, which can transmit data in the intestine to handheld devices, such as mobile phones.
The final researcher, Kalantar-zadeh, said that the Australian Commonwealth Scientific Organization (CSIRO) has developed different gas capsule technologies for ruminants, such as cows and goats. In future research, we will focus on high-tech capsules for humans. Development.
