Alimetry Limited is a company based in New Zealand which designs, manufactures, and markets wearable medical devices to aid in the diagnosis of gastric dysfunction. The hero product they have is Gastric Alimetry.
Gastric Alimetry[edit]
The Gastric Alimetry test is a pivotal development in gastroenterological diagnostics, utilizing non-invasive methods to gauge gastric electrophysiology in clinical environments. This test, facilitated by a wearable device, leverages body-surface-gastric-mapping technology derived from Electrogastrogram research to record electrophysiological data from the stomach, alongside patient-reported symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloating.[1][2].
Gastric Alimetry records digestive patterns before and after a standard meal, with patients logging symptoms via a dedicated app. The high-resolution data collected is analyzed and delivered through cloud-based technology, providing clinicians with detailed reports to aid in the diagnosis of gastric disorders such as functional dyspepsia and gastroparesis. This method is critical for personalizing therapy for disorders that significantly impact healthcare systems and patients' quality of life [3]
The output of the test is a auto-generated Alimetry Report that clinicians can use to assist with the diagnosis of chronic nausea and vomiting disorders such as Gastroparesis.
Gastric Alimetry received FDA approval[4] and UKCA marking in 2022. The device is currently available for use in the USA, UK, and New Zealand.

Alimetry's commitment to leveraging innovative diagnostic solutions aims to transform gastrointestinal health care, enhancing patient outcomes globally.
