Gastric Alimetry develops a medical device that utilizes Body Surface Gastric Mapping to record and analyze gastric electrophysiology, aiding in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders. This technology provides objective insights into gastric function and motility, enabling clinicians to identify the root causes of chronic gastric symptoms more effectively than traditional diagnostic methods.

Problem
Diagnosing chronic gastric disorders often relies on subjective symptom reporting and traditional diagnostic methods that lack objective insights into gastric function and motility. This can lead to delayed or inaccurate diagnoses, hindering effective treatment for patients experiencing chronic gastric symptoms.
Solution
Gastric Alimetry offers a medical device that utilizes Body Surface Gastric Mapping (BSGM) to record and analyze gastric electrophysiology. The non-invasive system records gastric electrical activity using an adhesive array placed on the patient's abdomen. The device captures a 30-minute baseline recording, followed by a 4-hour post-meal recording after the patient consumes a standardized meal. The Gastric Alimetry Report auto-generates objective, data-driven insights into gastric function, motility, and electrophysiology, aiding clinicians in identifying the root causes of chronic gastric symptoms.
Target Audience
The primary users are clinicians in healthcare facilities within the United States of America, United Kingdom, and New Zealand who treat patients with chronic gastric symptoms where traditional diagnostic methods may not provide sufficient insights.
