Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method for analysing and/or treating symptoms of IBS. A system for treating IBS may include a processor configured to receive a first set of data from biosensors configured to measure contractions in the bowel, receive a second set of data from a galvanic skin response sensor configured to measure electrical conductance of the skin, and analyze patterns between the first and second sets of data. An apparatus may include a base material comprising a material that fits to the body of a user, an elastic portion capable of applying compression across the abdomen of a user, and a tension adjusting mechanism for adjusting the compression applied to the abdomen in order to treat the symptoms of IBS.
