eCap

Project Info

The EU-funded eCAP project aims to create an innovative medical device as a combination of a smart capsule with an e-health platform for diagnostics, disease management and improved outcomes for patients with gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. The project will create a modular implantable capsule with a multi-sensing capacity for GI physiology monitoring. It will utilise smartphone communication with cloud computing technology and application interfaces to integrate, process and interpret longitudinal physiological data collected by the capsule. The personalised tests will provide accurate results from the multi-stream data input with AI-aided interpretation. The ambitious goal is to facilitate a shift in GI diagnostics to a patient-centred e-health approach and connected medical devices for remote patient monitoring.
