Pera is a non-invasive-wearable device that tracks digestion for people with bowel incontinence. The device discreetly adheres with a patch to a user’s lower tummy and analyses bowel sound activity in real-time. It offers real-time continuous monitoring that can predict passing stool 40 minutes in advance to prevent accidents.
