Title In body wireless communication of ingestible electronics
Summary Radiotherapy is a cornerstone treatment for various cancers, but radiation-induced gastrointestinal (GI) injury remains a significant complication, leading to inflammation, ulceration, and long-term functional impairments. Current dosimetry techniques, such as external sensors and computational models, provide indirect estimations of radiation exposure and fail to capture patient-specific variations in real-time.

To address these limitations, we are developing ingestible electronics capable of continuous and in situ monitoring of radiation exposure within the GI tract. This approach enables real-time, patient-specific dosimetry, allowing for adaptive treatment strategies to minimize GI toxicity while optimizing therapeutic efficacy.
