Abstract :
This paper introduced a long-term ambulatory intragastric pH monitoring system, which is designed for prolonged ambulatory studies of gastroesophageal reflux diseases. The whole system is composed of the gastric catheter with two pH sensors, a small data logger (Microdatalog), and a notebook PC. In this paper, the design of monitoring system hardware and software are described in detail. Clinical applications reveal good results
