eGERD
A novel device for a billion people suffering from Reflux, Heartburn & Regurgitation
GERD
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease [GERD] is one of the most common digestive disorders, affecting a billion people globally who suffer from reflux, heartburn and regurgitation.
GERD main complications are Barrett disease and esophageal cancer.
Data-Driven, Remote & Personalized Treatment
Proprietary smartphone application controls the eGERD device and generates clinical data securely stored on the GerdCare cloud.
Collected data is processed to create personalized and optimized treatment.
How It Works
The eGERD is a digital therapeutic electro-stimulator, generating modulated asymmetrical electrical bursts of pulses synchronized with breathing. Abdominal muscles are contracted in an asymmetrical manner inducing improvement in the functionality of the Lower Esophagel Sphincter [LES] and reducing acid reflux from the stomach to the esophagus.
eGERD platform
A novel, unique, drug-free, non-invasive, user friendly medical platform designed for alleviating symptoms of GERD. No preparations are required prior to usage. It is set to immediate use, anytime, anywhere by any GERD patient.

Current solutions
PPI drugs
-
PPI treatment for GERD is ineffective for up to 40% of patients using the drug.
-
Chronic use of PPI’s reduces stomach acidity levels, impairing nutrient absorption; Other long-term risks include Osteoporosis, Neurological Disorders, Dementia, Kidney disease and Cancer.
Surgical procedures [Fundoplication, LINX]
-
Low acceptance rate due to inavsiveness, associated risks and long recovery.
