Wearable upgrade? The swallowable vital signs detection equipment is out!

How to detect the vital signs of patients has always been the focus of medical workers. With the rise of wearable devices such as iWatch, scientists have made gratifying achievements in this field. However, this is not the end of the researcher's efforts. Whether it is possible to develop a swallowable vital sign detection device to better monitor vital heartbeats such as the patient's heartbeat in the body has become a hot spot in medical device research and development.

Earlier this year, Proteus researchers turned the idea of ​​swallowing drug testing equipment into reality and received FDA clearance. Last year, in vivo imaging technology developed by PillCam also received widespread industry attention. Now, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are taking another step forward in their research into the concept of a swallowable vital sign detector.

In a preliminary study conducted by the researchers, the researchers successfully obtained animal heartbeat, respiratory rate and other indicators in real time through this swallowable vital sign detector. In the future, this technology is expected to be used in telemedicine and provide health data support for high-level athletes and dangerous trade practitioners.

Giovanni Traverso, one of the authors of the study, said that the device mainly collects sound waves from different parts of the intestines of the user and uses special algorithms to reduce noise and process to obtain important physiological characteristics such as the heartbeat and respiratory rate of the user. feature.

The researchers used this method to collect up to 400 minutes of sound information on six pigs. The results showed that the heart rate based on this technique was consistent with the respiratory rate and the results of the standard vital sign detection device. In the past, most of the equipment needed to be in contact with the patient or need to be integrated into a bed or chair to complete the testing process. In addition, researchers using this device can simultaneously obtain sound information from the heart and lungs.

Perhaps, in the near future, when you test your heart rate, you will not say "Let me bring iWatch", but let me eat a "medicine."
