Augmenting a pH medical study with wearable video for treatment of GERD

In this paper we present an augmentation to the wearable computers typically used to determine if a patient is a candidate for surgery to correct problems associated with Gastroesophageal Reflux disease (GERD). A wearable camera was used by the first author while participating in a 24-hour stomach acid pH study. After the study´s conclusion, an examination of the captured video and pH record revealed some results that allowed the first author to avoid many of the activities that result in symptoms related to GERD.
