Abstract
A device, system and method for in-vivo sensing (e.g., pH sensing, pressure sensing, or other sensing) may include more than one sensor receiving in-vivo data. The sensed data may be analyzed to, for example, determine a gradient or fluid flow. A device including multiple sensors may be held or immobilized in-vivo, and may detect a fluid flow or gradient moving past the sensors.
