  • Title: The HemoCop Telemetric Sensor System: technology and results of in-vivo assessment.
    Author: Schostek S, Schurr MO.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2012; 177():97-100. PubMed ID: 22942037.
    Abstract:
    Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is considered the most frequent emergency in endoscopy units. Decisive for successful treatment of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a timely recognition. We have developed a telemetric implant containing a novel optical sensor principle able to detect the presence of blood in the lumen of the GI tract. In-vivo experiments demonstrated the possibility to detect bleeding in situ and to send an alert signal to an extracorporeal receiver.
