PillBot: The New Robotic Pill Designed to Examine the Body
One of the pillars of modern medicine has become the examination of different organs of the human body, using the most advanced techniques. Therefore, the best way to study organs is from within. Analyzing the larynx, digestive tract, stomach , intestines, vascular system, heart, liver, and several other organs.
Alex Luebke, co-founder and engineer of the startup Endiatx, created PillBot™, sensing the need to observe organs from the inside. This pill is an ingestible invention, "that allows doctors to discover the interior of the human body in real time." This allows the doctor to inspect the area of the body of interest up close.
It's designed to act like a submarine, moving through the body via wireless remote control after being ingested. Once it's completed its task, it's naturally eliminated from the body 6 to 24 hours after ingestion. It's comprised of cameras, sensors, and communication technology, allowing the doctor to view the process live via video.
