The capsule-sized device can provide accurate measures of respiratory and heart rate, enabling sleep apnea monitoring, a human trial shows.
Massachusetts and West Virginia researchers have developed and evaluated a wireless ingestible device that can enable remote monitoring of vital signs.
The Vitals Monitoring Pill (VM Pill) is a capsule-size device that can accurately collect and report vital signs, including respiratory and heart rates. It leverages a custom configuration of integrated circuits and electronic sensors, including an accelerometer, to measure small ballistic movements generated in the gastrointestinal tract each time the heart beats or breathing occurs.
