Abstract

In this paper, a swallowable miniaturized capsule, which applicable for electrical stimulation of digestive organ to improve the motion of intestine in research purpose, is proposed and implemented. The developed capsule can be controlled for the behavior of the power on/off, amplitude and pulse rate for the patient stimulus, by internally equipped with miniaturized RF receiver that linked by the command of external transmitter. The experimental result of the implemented miniaturized capsule in the animal intestine show the ability of effective control for the stimulus parameters.

본 논문에서는 소화기관의 운동촉진 및 소화기의 자극에 관한 연구 목적으로 이용할 수 있는 경구 투입용 초소형 캡슐을 제안하고 이를 구현하였다. 설계된 캡슐은 내부에 초소형 수신기를 내장하고 있어 외부송신기의 명령에 따라 소화관 자극 펄스의 진폭과 자극 주기의 제어 및 전원의 ON/OFF가 가능하다. 제작된 초소형 캡슐을 동물의 내장에 넣어 실험한 결과 소화관 자극 변수들을 외부에서 효과적으로 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
