Wireless Microsensors Capsule System

Abstract
The interface of enabling technology with advanced product design has shown radical development in the field of intelligent sensor-embedded system design. Numerous applications are envisaged exploiting this interconnectivity, particularly, in the field of biomedical applications. A need, for example, that is of growing demand, is in the field of remote health monitoring and control of critically ill patients, with the help of networked sensors. The continuous monitoring of the health of a patient in a hospital, information fusion from multiple sensor-data as well as broadcasting the recorded data on a network for the ease of access to the clinician and implementing the decisions of clinicians through automated drug delivery units could save millions of precious lives in a country with limited medical experts. This project discribes a method for detecting human gastric-motility dysfunction using a wireless electronic capsule. The capsule’s main components include three sensors (temperature, pH, and pressure), an Zigbee transceiver, and batteries. The physiological data measured by the wireless capsule within the human gastric system is transmitted to the PC. These data are continuously monitored and recorded for further medical analysis.
Keywords:
1. INTRODUCTION
Gastric motility is the spontaneous peristaltic movements of the stomach that aid in digestion, moving food through the mach and out through the pyloric sphincter into the duodenum. Excess gastric motility causes pain. Below normal motility is common in labor, after general anesthesia, and as side effect of some sedative hypnotics.
