About the solution
G-Tech Medical is developing a non-invasive medical patch system that functions like an EKG for the gut: the system takes electrical measurements of the stomach and intestines to understand how the gut works under non-artificial conditions and translates that data to help physicians better treat patients who may be suffering from gastrointestinal (GI) disorders or recovering from abdominal surgery.
The G-Tech system consists of wireless, wearable electrode patches that read electrical signals at the skin surface, a smartphone app that collects the raw data from the patches via Bluetooth, and data-analysis algorithms that process and quantify the motor activity of the digestive organs. G-Tech’s Patch System is focused on meeting market-driven and clinical needs to create a new standard of care that dramatically improves outcomes and reduces costs associated with GI conditions. The inexpensive, accurate, and easy to use real-time ability to assess activity of the GI organs provides the potential to transform care for patients, providers and institutions. Some key features and innovations include:
1. Wireless Monitoring: The wearable patch allows continuous, non-invasive monitoring of the digestive tract's electrical activity, providing valuable insights into gut health.
2. Sophisticated Measurement Systems: Steve's expertise in creating advanced measurement systems ensures the accuracy and reliability of the device, providing healthcare professionals with critical data for diagnosis and treatment.
3. Personalized Healthcare: G-Tech Medical's solution has the potential to transform the management of digestive tract disorders by enabling personalized treatment plans based on real-time data.
The G-Tech System has received FDA 510(k) clearance but is currently unavailable for purchase.
