This invention discloses a self-powered, controllable, self-destructing microcapsule for monitoring intragastric pressure, belonging to the field of medical
capsule technology. It aims to solve problems existing in current intragastric monitoring capsules, such as short power lifespan, uncontrollable gastric retention and expulsion, and bulky size and difficulty in
swallowing due to
modular design. The
capsule includes a
capsule shell, within which are sequentially arranged a retention unit, a circuit unit, and a
primary battery unit. The retention unit ensures the capsule remains in the
stomach, the circuit unit monitors intragastric pressure, and the
primary battery unit supplies power to the circuit unit. This invention integrates self-powering, long battery life, controllable retention, and high
miniaturization, providing a novel solution with significant clinical translational value for non-invasive, long-term, and safe monitoring of intragastric pressure.
