Summary

This study tested a new, less invasive way to measure stomach acid using a wireless capsule (SmartPill) that you swallow. It compared the capsule to the standard method that uses a tube placed through the nose into the stomach. The study included healthy volunteers and people with acid-related stomach disorders to see if the capsule is accurate and easier for patients.
