BodyCap e-Celsius Performance® pill

An accurate, reliable and innovative core temperature monitoring solution

The e-Celsius Performance®pill, is a miniaturised ingestible electronic pill that wirelessly transmits a continuous measurement of gastrointestinal temperature. The data are stored on a monitor called e-Viewer Performance®. This device shows alerts if the measurement is outside the desired range. The activation box is used to turn the pill on from standby mode and connect the e-Celsius Performance pill with the monitor for data collection in either real time or by recovery from the internal memory of e-Celsius Performance®. Each monitor can be used with up to three pills at once to enable extended use. The monitors interface allows the user to download data to a PC/ Mac for storage. The pill is safe, non-invasive and easy to use, leaving the gastric system after one or two days, depending on individual transit time.

Key benefits

An easy to use solution
An accurate core temperature measurement
Circadian rhythm monitoring

{tab Applications}

Main applications are:

Heat stroke prevention
Jet lag and performance
Core temperature control
Hypothermia prevention
Performance assessment
Training/recovery process optimisation

Risk reduction

Risk reduction for people in extreme situations, such as elite athletes. During exercise in a hot environment, thermal stress is amplified by the external temperature and the environment?s humidity. The saturation of the body?s thermoregulation mechanism can quickly cause hyperthermia to levels that may cause nausea, fainting or death.

Performance optimisation for elite athletes

This ingestible pill leaves the user fully mobile. The device keeps a continuous record of temperature during training session, competition and during the recovery phase. The data can then be used to correlate thermoregulation with performances. This enable the development of customised training protocols for each athlete.

e-Celsius Performance® can be used for all sports, including water sports. Its application is best suited to sports that are physically intensive like football, rugby, cycling, long distance running, tennis or those that take place in environments with extreme temperature conditions, like diving or skiing.
