Sensors and Design of an Endoscopic Pill

Endoscopic devices are used in the medical world to inspect the gastrointestinal tract. Because there are some complications with wired endoscopy, such as reaching the small intestine, there is a need for new methods to do endoscopy. Therefore an endoscopic pill is invented which can be used to do measurements in the gastrointestinal tract. This endoscopic pill is a small device with small sized electronic sensing elements. This thesis goes through the implementation process of sensors inside an endoscopic pill in order to be able to perform measurements inside the human body. The sensors used in the endoscopic pill are a temperature and a pressure sensor. Besides that, this thesis also goes through the design process of the 3D design of the capsule, which is later 3D printed. The goal of the project is to make a prototype which contains functioning sensors and which can be made swallowable during future work.Electrical Engineerin
