Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Hospitalized Patients Undergoing PillSense™ Testing
This group includes hospitalized adult patients who have been referred to gastroenterology services for unexplained anemia and/or a positive fecal occult blood test (hemoccult) in the absence of overt gastrointestinal bleeding (e.g., no melena, hematemesis, or hematochezia). All participants will ingest the PillSense™ capsule.
PillSense™
The PillSense™ System is a prescription only device consisting of a reusable receiver and single-use ingestible capsule, intended to be used for the detection of blood in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
