Smart underwear tracks your farts to reveal gut health
NCT ID NCT06802276
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a wearable smart underwear device that measures hydrogen sulfide gas from gut microbes. 25 healthy adults will eat high-cysteine and low-cysteine diets to see if the device can detect diet-related changes in gas production. The goal is to develop a non-invasive tool for understanding gut health.
