Title of Dissertation/Thesis:Key Technology Study and Implementation of a Miniature Device for In-Body pH Monitoring
Abstract:
The effective diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux diseases, GERD, is greatly needed by the medical profession. Traditionally, invasive method to find out GERD can't last long during diagnosis and misdiagnosis rate is really high. The process brings great pain to the patients. The solution is to develop a swallowable micro device which can monitor pH value of patients' digestive tract continuously. By this way, GERD will be found out more easily. The existing devices are large by size with high power consumption and low measurement accuracy. It is significant to develop a micro device with low power consumption and high precision for real-time monitoring, which improves accuracy of GERD diagnosis and reduces the patients' pain.
