Ingestible biosensors for monitoring digestive health and nutritional monitoring.

Ingestible biosensors represent a transformative advancement in the field of personalized health monitoring, offering real-time insights into digestive health and nutritional status. These innovative devices, designed to travel through the gastrointestinal tract, are equipped with miniaturized sensors capable of detecting and analysing key biomarkers related to digestion and nutrient absorption. By providing continuous, non-invasive monitoring, ingestible biosensors enable early detection of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, personalized dietary adjustments, and enhanced understanding of gut microbiota dynamics. This chapter reviews the recent developments in ingestible biosensor technology, highlighting their potential to revolutionize health care by offering a more comprehensive and dynamic assessment of an individual nutritional and digestive health, leading to improved outcomes and patient engagement.
