GutTracker®

GutTracker is a noninvasive test that records the natural electrical activity of your stomach, small intestine, and colon over several days. These signals are associated with the muscle activity of your digestive tract.

Your doctor may recommend GutTracker to help evaluate persistent nausea, vomiting, bloating, or feeling full soon after starting a meal. Recording over several days provides information about how digestive activity varies during your usual routine.

Three wireless patches are placed on the skin of your abdomen and worn for up to six days. They record electrical signals and transmit the information through a smartphone to be analyzed. No sedation, tubes, or swallowed capsules are required.

You will use a phone app to record meals, symptoms, and bowel movements so your doctor can review them alongside the measurements.

GutTracker does not require fasting or a special test meal. Our team will explain how to use the patches and app and provide any instructions specific to your test. Discuss your medications with your doctor before making any changes.

Testing takes place at home while you follow your usual eating, sleeping, and daily routines. The patches can be worn under your clothing. Our team will provide guidance about caring for the patches, bathing, and physical activity.

After the recording period, the measurements and diary entries are compiled into a report for your doctor to review. Your doctor will discuss the findings with you and consider them alongside your symptoms, medical history, and other test results.

GutTracker does not diagnose a specific condition on its own or measure how quickly your stomach empties. Other testing may still be needed.
