Ingestible Capsule Evaluates Patients for Gastroparesis
 
A wireless, ingestible medical device, about the size of a large vitamin pill, will aid in the identification of slow gastric emptying, or gastroparesis, which has been underdiagnosed in patients for years. Gastroparesis is a condition that affects a wide range of patients, including up to an estimated 50% of diabetics and those suffering from Parkinson’s disease.
