Did you know that just like your heart, your stomach has a natural electrical rhythm that coordinates its every function? For 40% of people who live with gastrointestinal disorders, from persistent reflux to debilitating pain, this vital rhythm can fall into chaos.

Gastrointestinal disorders and conditions are difficult to diagnose and even harder to treat, leaving many, like vibrant 23-year-old New Zealander Ruby Hill – who tragically lost her life to stomach paralysis (gastroparesis) – without answers or effective treatment options.





Join Dr Tim Angeli-Gordon, an Auckland Medical Research Foundation-funded medical researcher, for a fascinating look into a new frontier of medicine that offers real hope. In this compelling presentation, Tim, from the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, will share how his team is pioneering world-first care, moving incredible innovations from the lab directly to a patient’s bedside at Auckland City Hospital.


Discover the breakthroughs set to revolutionise gut health:

  • A new diagnostic tool: Learn about a minimally-invasive endoscopic device that, for the first time, can create a high-resolution map of the stomach’s electrical signals without the need for major surgery. It finally gives clinicians the tools to see what’s really going wrong.

  • A ground-breaking therapy: Hear about "gastric ablation," a technique inspired by cardiology that can correct the faulty electrical circuits in the stomach, potentially fixing the cause of the problem.


Tim’s curiousity has led to solving one of medicine’s most challenging problems. If you or anyone in your life has been impacted by digestive health issues, this presentation will provide a powerful and inspiring glimpse into a brighter future.
