A system and method for evaluating gastrointestinal motility that can be effectively employed to acquire one or more signals associated with acoustic energy (i.e. sound) emanating from an abdominal region of a body and determ ine at least one gastrointestinal parameter based on the acoustic energy sig nal(s) is described. The gastrointestinal parameter can include a gastrointe stinal event, including gastrointestinal mixing, emptying, contraction and p ropulsion, and gastrointestinal transit time.
