Abstract

PURPOSE:To examine a digestive organ without causing pain by using a small capsule having a biosensor and a bio-data transmission part sealed therein as a sensor for detecting bio-data. CONSTITUTION:A part of a biosensor is exposed to the surface of a capsule main body 2 as a biosensor exposed head 1 and bio-data such as the acidity, electric resistance and temp. in a digestive organ is detected by the exposed head 1. The bio-data detected by the biosensor 4 contained in a capsule 3 is inputted to a coder 5 to be encoded and sent to a transmission part 6 while time data and a detection item discriminating code are given to said data. A transmission signal is formed in the transmission part 6 through a predetermined modulation means to be sent out from an antenna 7. The transmission wave sent out from the antenna is propagated through the body to be outputted to the outside of the body. The transmission wave sent out from the capsule 3 is picked up by the antenna 12 of a receiver 9 and received by a receiving part 11 to be demodulated. The demodulated receiving signal is inputted to a decoder 10 to be decoded and put to practical use as required bio-data for diagnosis.
