A system and method for evaluating gastrointestinal motility that can be effectively employed to acquire one or more signals associated with acoustic energy (i.e. sound) emanating from an abdominal region of a body and determine at least one gastrointestinal parameter based on the acoustic energy signal(s) is described. The gastrointestinal parameter can include a gastrointestinal event, including gastrointestinal mixing, emptying, contraction and propulsion, and gastrointestinal transit time.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour évaluer une motilité gastro-intestinale qui peut être utilisée efficacement pour acquérir un ou plusieurs signaux associés à une énergie acoustique (c'est-à-dire un son) émanant d'une zone abdominale d'un corps, et pour déterminer au moins un paramètre gastro-intestinal sur la base du ou des signaux d'énergie acoustique. Le paramètre gastro-intestinal peut comprendre un événement gastro-intestinal, y compris un mélange, une vidange, une contraction et une propulsion gastro-intestinal(e), et un temps de transit gastro-intestinal.
