Abstract:
Swallowable biotelemetry systems are one kind of implantable biotelemetry systems. The research about swallowable biotelemetry systems is rapidly growing recently because they can be used to measure physiological and pathological parameters of human gastrointestinal tracts in vivo and they significantly improve patient comfort. This paper presents the current research of swallowable biotelemetry systems domestically and abroad. The development trend of these systems is analyzed at the end of the paper.
