Clinical Trials

We have an ongoing program to develop non-invasive approaches for the diagnosis of gut disorders.

This research is run by Prof Barry Marshall and the Noisy Guts Project team at UWA.

Whilst our original device employed acoustic technology, we have since found that combining survey questions with a machine learning approach offers even higher accuracy.

Here’s how you can help with our current study.

Clinicians

Perth-based GPs, Gastroenterologists and Dietitians can make their IBS patients aware of our studies and this site. Contact us using the link below to find out more. We can also provide flyers or posters.

We are also expanding our belt’s capabilities to the diagnosis of other GI conditions. We recently started an additional NHMRC funded study for which we need gastroenterolgist’s help recruiting patients newly diagnosed with

  • IBS

  • Crohn’s disease

  • ulcerative colitis

  • coeliac disease

We have existing ethics approval to work with gastroenterologists from Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Osborne Park Hospital, Fremantle Hospital, St John of God Murdoch Hospital and St John of God Subiaco Hospital.

We welcome the help of additional Perth-based gastroenterologists from these or other hospitals. Please use the Contact Us link to find out more.
