Description

Advancements in the miniaturization of metal oxide (MOX) gas sensors are enabling a wide range of new applications. One promising application is the in-vivo measurement of gaseous biomarkers, which is discussed in more detail in this presentation. These gaseous biomarkers can provide valuable diagnostic information, as they are directly linked to microbial metabolic activity within the human gastrointestinal tract and can reflect physiological and pathological conditions.
 
 Integrating MOX sensors into state-of-the-art capsule endoscopy systems poses several challenges for sensor packaging, including biocompatibility, protection against liquids while still providing sufficient gas diffusion in harsh chemical environments inside the gastrointestinal tract. Addressing these challenges is essential to enable stable sensor operation and reproducible in-vivo measurements, paving the way for sensor-enhanced capsule endoscopy and new diagnostic capabilities.
