Precision Gastric Motility –
Anywhere,
Safe & Simple
GastricTime replaces complex hospital-bound motility tests with a radiation-free, battery-free swallowable capsule
and wearable reader – delivering actionable motility data at the point of care.
A Critical Clinical Variable
Missing From Routine Care
Gastric motility disorders affect millions worldwide – yet objective measurement remains absent from routine care. The rapid adoption of GLP-1 receptor agonists has made this diagnostic gap more consequential than ever.
Clinicians Are Making High-Stakes Decisions Without Data
When GI symptoms arise, clinicians cannot objectively distinguish drug-induced motility changes from underlying pathology. Without that data, patients face an impossible tradeoff – abandoning treatments that may still be right for them, or continuing without knowing whether genuine gastroparesis is present.
Gastric Motility Is a Critical Variable Across Metabolic Care
From determining insulin timing in personalized diabetes management, to evaluating candidates for bariatric surgery and monitoring outcomes post-procedure – objective gastric emptying data is needed across multiple high-stakes clinical decisions. Today, it is routinely absent.
Current Gold Standard: Scintigraphy
- Hospital-bound – requires nuclear medicine facilities
- Radioactive meal required for imaging
- $1,200 per test – facility-based cost
- 4–6 hour sessions – impractical for repeat testing
- Requires specialized imaging staff
Consequence: Untreated Diagnostic Gap
- Premature GLP-1 discontinuation despite potential benefit
- Inappropriate dose escalation or reduction
- Unnecessary referrals, imaging, or drug switching
- Lost therapeutic value in high-cost treatments
- Risk of aspiration in undiagnosed gastroparesis patients
Simple Measurement,
Actionable Insight
A swallowable capsule dissolves in the stomach, releasing passive RFID tags that are individually detected as they transit the pylorus – no batteries, no radiation, no hospital required.
