INGESTIBLE ELECTRONIC CAPSULE

摘要

An ingestible capsule (100, 500) comprising: at least one unfoldable member (123, 150) which can selectively be moved between a folded position and an unfolded position; control circuitry for controlling folding and unfolding of the unfoldable member; a pliant membrane (129) covering the unfoldable member. By unfolding the unfoldable members the retention time in the gastrointestinal tract can be prolonged.
