Abstract
The present invention provides a device and a method for monitoring the function of sphincters in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The device of the invention includes a signal-generating device that is placed at one side of a GI sphincter, and a signal-detecting device that is placed at the other side of the GI sphincter whose function is to be monitored. The device detects and analyzes the change in the characteristics of the signals that are generated by the signal-generating device and detected by the signal-detecting device. In this manner, the signal data detected during the opening and closing of the GI sphincter can be stored in a data logger and/or can be monitored in real time.
