The VIPUN Gastric Monitoring System (GMS) provides, for the first time, and in an easy and affordable manner, insight into the stomach function of a patient and can either be used as a continuous monitoring tool (e.g. in ICU patients with feeding intolerance) or for stomach motility diagnostics (e.g. in Diabetic Gastroparesis patients).
