Title:
NON-INVASIVE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING BOWEL MOTILITY USING BOWEL SOUND ANALYSIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/057406
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a non-invasive device and to a non-invasive method for measuring bowel motility using bowel sound analysis. The non-invasive device for measuring bowel motility through bowel sound analysis includes: a signal-collecting unit that measures and outputs sounds from the bowel, i.e. a bowel sound; a noise-canceling unit that removes noise from the bowel signal outputted from the unit for collecting signals and which outputs the signal; a parameter-extracting unit that extracts feature parameters from the bowel sound from which the noise was removed; a relationship-deriving unit that derives the relationship between the extracted feature parameters and the colon transit time (CTT) measured in advance; and a unit for diagnosing bowel motility that diagnoses the motility state of the bowel on the basis of the derived relationship.
