eCAP – improving the outcomes of GERD patients in Europe and beyond

Gastrointestinal diseases, which range from functional problems to cancers, are among the most common medical ailments across the globe.

1.2 bilion people
globally are affected by GERD, with prevalence growing in all regions of the world
of GERD cases are accurately diagnosed

Many digestive diseases are difficult to diagnose as the symptoms are vague and variable. Moreover, currently available diagnostic tools require highly skilled interpretation and high set-up cost.
eCAP smart capsule, implanted by minimally invasive techniques, will allow gastrointestinal physiology monitoring for a longer, controlled period of time.
With the inclusion of accurate real-time patient experience data and interpretation guided by Artificial Intelligence, GERD diagnostics will be cheaper, faster, and more robust.
