Noisy Guts
Noisy Guts is an acoustic belt that records gut noises over time so doctors can accurately screen and diagnose gut disorders. The belt makes use of acoustic sensing technology to listen, record and analyse gut noises. Noisy Guts works similarly to an ECG monitor for the heart, and will be supported by a smartphone app that records symptoms. The end result will be a safe, non-invasive screening, monitoring and diagnostic tool.
A new approach to diagnosis.
Functional gastrointestinal diseases, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) have a significant impact on quality of life, however the current diagnostic process is time-consuming and costly, typically including invasive tests such as colonoscopy. The Noisy Guts belt offers doctors a new, accurate and non-invasive approach to IBS diagnosis and screening for IBD.
