INGESTIBLE GUT SENSING
Measure the gut from the inside.
A tic tac sized capsule reads pH, redox, temperature and transit along the entire GI tract, in a living person.
THE PROBLEM
Every gut test today is blind or invasive.
None of them shows where, or when, something happens inside.
Stool
Aggregated.
A mix of the whole gut, after the fact. No location.
Blood
Systemic.
Signals from everywhere, not what happens locally in the gut.
Colonoscopy
Invasive.
One look at the wall, hard to repeat.
Wearables
Downstream.
Heart rate, oxygenation, bowel sounds: measured as after-the-fact snapshots.
HOW IT WORKS
From swallow to regional profile.
Four steps, one capsule, one continuous record.
- 01
Swallow
A tic tac sized pill, activated on site.
- 02
Measure
Oxidation-reduction potential, pH, temperature and transit time, from stomach to small intestine to colon.
- 03
Collect
A body-worn reader records the data as long as the capsule travels.
- 04
Interpret
Regional oxidation and acidity profiles and transit times in our platform. Combine with microbiome, wearables and other biomarkers.
PROOF
First human data, published.

Oxidative in the stomach, strongly reducing in the colon. The first time this gradient was measured in a living person.
