ABSTRACT:
A system and method for detecting a gastric motility dysfunction acquires acoustic event information associated with a body and compares the acquired acoustic event information to information associated with a healthy condition. The system and method then identifies the gastric motility dysfunction based on the comparison of the acquired acoustic event information to the information associated with the healthy condition.
