Platform supporting the esophageal impedance analysis

Abstract

The esophageal pH-impedance examination is one of the most popular diagnostic methods for identifying the upper gastrointestinal tract’s diseases. Inconclusive test evaluation criteria makes it difficult to state the definite diagnosis. In this paper, the computer platform supporting the research and teaching process in the area of pH-impedance analysis is presented. Users, having a variety of mathematical and statistical methods at their disposition, have the opportunity to study and search for new methods of the impedance courses evaluation, which could translate into a significant broadening of knowledge in the field of esophageal impedance analysis. This could lead to acceleration and improvement of the upper gastrointestinal tract diseases diagnosing process.
