Pictures must credit: TED2024
A revolutionary micro-robot which is swallowed like a pill to navigate the human stomach is set to provide a cost-effective diagnosis aid for medics.
The robot, called PillBot, has been developed by a US Silicon Valley medical tech firm called Endiatx and transmits video from inside the body.
The device is about the size of a vitamin pill and has power for about 30 minutes of live feed and is designed to be disposable.
The patient simply passes the robot at the end of its mission.
A patient first has a drink of water then swallows PillBot.
A physician navigates the device remotely using an internet-connected game controller to thoroughly scan the patient's stomach.
A spokesperson said: “This groundbreaking technology reduces the need for invasive procedures, lowers costs, and increases accessibility to GI diagnosis and treatment.”
Following the completion of clinical trials later this year, Endiatx anticipates US Food and Drug Administration clearance for PillBot in 2025.
The commercial launch in the US is expected in early 2026, with plans for international expansion, particularly in developing nations where access to gastrointestinal medicine is limited.
OPS: Endiatx chairman Alex Luebke shows off the PillBot at the TED Talks 2024 event in Vancourver, Canada, where new tech ideas were unveiled and discusssed. Here Endiatx Co-Founder Dr. Vivek Kumbhari demonstrates live navigation of PillBot through the stomach of Dr. Luebke. The image is shown bottom left hand corner

A spokesperson said: “This groundbreaking technology reduces the need for invasive procedures, lowers costs, and increases accessibility to GI diagnosis and treatment.”
Following the completion of clinical trials later this year, Endiatx anticipates US Food and Drug Administration clearance for PillBot in 2025.
The commercial launch in the US is expected in early 2026, with plans for international expansion, particularly in developing nations where access to gastrointestinal medicine is limited.

A revolutionary micro-robot which is swallowed like a pill to navigate the human stomach is set to provide a cost-effective diagnosis aid for medics.
The robot, called PillBot, has been developed by a US Silicon Valley medical tech firm called Endiatx and transmits video from inside the body.
The device is about the size of a vitamin pill and has power for about 30 minutes of live feed and is designed to be disposable.
The patient simply passes the robot at the end of its mission.
A patient first has a drink of water then swallows PillBot.

Stacy Martin a woman without a stomach founded a snack brand. How can she create an appetite in the market?
Stacy Martin's Seahorse Snacks has found its niche at high-end stores, but the founder is looking to expand.
Fun fact about seahorses: they don't have stomachs. This anatomical curiosity is precisely why they inspired the name of Seahorse Snacks, Stacy Martin's Chattanooga, Tennessee-based gourmet nuts company.
Martin, 40, is not too shy to point out that she's a bit like a seahorse. After discovering a rare genetic mutation that dramatically increased her risk for gastrointestinal cancer, she underwent a preventive surgical procedure in September 2019 that left her without a stomach.
She began experimenting with different combinations of seasonings - maple and chai, chilli and turmeric - to liven up her pistachios, cashews, pecans and almonds. They were delicious, and Martin began giving them to friends. From there, Seahorse Snacks was born.
