داء الأمعاء الالتهابي
Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a debilitating, relapsing condition that first emerges in young adulthood and affects patients throughout their life. The Bionics Institute is involved in a collaborative project to create a novel device that will enable detection of gut inflammation and will therapeutically stimulate the vagus nerve.First-in-human clinical trials for this device are due to commence at the end of 2020.
