Abstract
Systems and methods described herein include those for the continual modification of intestinal microbes. Described herein are systems including sampling devices, analysis devices, computational devices and user interface devices as well as methods for the use of such devices in combination.
Claims24
A system for continual modification of intestinal microbes comprising:
- at least one ingestible sampling device including one or more electronic detectors, the at least one ingestible sampling device including one or more physical sample collectors and an internal storage region;
- at least one analysis device including a cell culture of the at least one sample;
- at least one computational device operably connected to the at least one analysis device, and including in memory a standard profile for gastrointestinal microbes;
- at least one user interface device operably connected to the at least one computational device, the user interface device including a monitor;
- and
- at least one material dispensing device connected to the at least one computational device.
3 more elements
A system for monitoring and introducing gastrointestinal microbes into a mammalian gastrointestinal tract over time, comprising:
- at least one gastrointestinal microbe analysis device;
- at least one computational device connected to the at least one gastrointestinal microbe analysis device, the at least one computational device including logic with protocols to integrate information relating to an individual with information from the at least one gastrointestinal microbe analysis device;
- at least one user interface connected to the at least one computational device;
- and
- at least one material dispensing device connected to the at least one computational device, the at least one material dispensing device including control circuitry for the at least one material dispensing device and at least one data storage unit including dispensation protocols.
