COLLEGE PARK, MD – A significant milestone in the field of healthcare technology has been achieved by researchers from the University of Maryland’s Clark School of Engineering, specifically under Professor Reza Ghodssi ECEISRFischell Institute Fellow. Their work on an innovative ingestible capsule system has been spotlighted as the cover feature in the latest issue of Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 13, Issue 5. This publication is a testament to their pioneering efforts in non-invasive monitoring and diagnosis through wireless technology.
The research team, led by alumnus and current Assistant Research Scientist Justin Stine PhD '23, as well as doctoral candidates Katie Ruland and Joshua Levy from Materials Science Engineering, along with UMD Research Associate Luke Beardslee, Visiting Assistant Professor Santiago Botasini, Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist Pankaj J. Pasricha, and Ghodssi himself, have developed a groundbreaking system med at real-time electrochemical detection of hydrogen sulfide H2S in the gastrointestinal tract.
Innovative Approach:
Impact and Potential:
Non-Invasive Diagnosis: By offering a non-invasive method to monitor gut health compared to invasive procedures like oscopies, this technology promises a more comfortable patient experience without compromising diagnostic accuracy.
Broadened Diagnostic Capabilities: The capsule advances beyond traditional diagnostic roles of capturing images or measuring physiological states, paving the way for the detection of complex biomarkers.
University of Maryland’s Commitment:
The Clark School is dedicated to addressing significant challenges through engineering innovation and learning activities that foster new innovations benefiting society. By leading and transforming research efforts in engineering education and entrepreneurship, the school have a profound impact on the healthcare sector with such groundbreaking technologies.
