The researchers say the system may offer an easier, more comfortable method of following normal eating, drinking and other activities that may play a role in acid reflux. It was developed by doctors at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and engineers at UT Arlington.
The new system combines radio frequency identification (RFID) -- used in stores to track inventory and in identification chips in pets -- and impedance monitoring, which tracks reflux through electrical impulses.
