NCT ID NCT05415124

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a swallowable capsule called HemoPill acute that uses a sensor to detect blood in the upper digestive tract. Researchers compared its readings to standard endoscopy in 15 adults suspected of having upper GI bleeding. The goal was to see if the pill could help doctors quickly and accurately identify bleeding, potentially reducing the need for unnecessary procedures.
