Imec, in partnership with OnePlanet Research Center, introduced a highly miniaturized ingestible sensor for real-time gut health monitoring. Demonstrated live at ITF World 2025, the sensor is three times smaller than conventional capsule endoscopies and is the first to measure redox balance—an indicator of oxidative stress and inflammation—along with pH and temperature throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The device, just 2.1 cm long and 0.75 cm in diameter, offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional endoscopy and colonoscopy, which can be uncomfortable and limited in scope.
