COLLEGE PARK, Md. – University of Maryland (UMD) research is published in Microsystems & Nanoengineering, and the paper, along with cover art image, is now on the front page of the journal’s website. Researchers working in Professor Reza Ghodssi’s (ECE/ISR/Fischell Institute Fellow) MEMS Sensors and Actuators Laboratory (MSAL) have been advancing a non-invasive, ingestible capsule that uses wireless technology to provide information to diagnosticians in real time. It provides an alternative to invasive techniques like endoscopies when monitoring gut health. The capsule is in development and not currently available to the medical community.
The work was published in the journal on February 7, 2025. “An Ingestible Bioimpedance Sensing Device for Wireless Monitoring of Epithelial Barriers” was written by alumnus Brian Holt (M.S. ’24, Electrical Engineering), alumnus and current MATRIX Lab Director of Remote Sensing and Microsystems Justin Stine (Ph.D. '23, Electrical & Computer Engineering), UMD Research Associate Luke Beardslee, UMD Graduate Student Hammed Ayansola (Department of Animal and Avian Sciences), UMD Assistant Professor Younggeon Jin (Department of Animal and Avian Sciences), Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist Pankaj J. Pasricha, and Ghodssi.
“This new work is a major step forward towards the use of non-invasive bioimpedance sensing as a diagnostic tool in ingestible technology and leaky gut identification,” says Ghodssi. “We are grateful that our progress in ingestible capsule development continues to be recognized by Nature’s microsystems and nanotechnology community in this invited article.”
