Innovations in wearable electronics and AI at the University of Southern California (USC) Viterbi School of Engineering have led to the development of ingestible sensors capable of real-time 3D monitoring of gastrointestinal health. These smart pills can detect stomach gases and track their location in the body, potentially detecting gastritis and gastric cancers early.

Published in Cell Reports Physical Science, the study highlights how these sensors can be accurately monitored using a newly designed wearable system.
