Title
An application supporting Gastroesophageal Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance-pH analysis
Abstract
Due to a significant rise in the number of patients diagnosed with diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract and the high cost of treatment, there is a need to further research on one of the most popular diagnostic tests used in this case - esophageal Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH measurement. This may lead to finding new diagnostically relevant information, used to quicken and improve the diagnostic procedure. The paper presents an algorithm used in a new computer application dedicated for researchers and physicians interested in research connected with Gastroesophageal impedance and pH data analysis. A possibility to modify a wide range of the algorithms parameters as well as rich set of the programs functions allows researchers to search for new criteria to assess the pH and impedance data when diagnosing diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract. This, in turn, may lead to improving the time and accuracy of the MII-pH analysis which will substantially affect the patient's diagnosis time and treatment. Moreover, the diagnosing physician will be able to asses more tests, which is important, due to a significant rise in the number of patients seeking attention when speaking about the diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
