Endiatx has developed the PillBot™, a groundbreaking innovation in the field of endoscopy that revolutionizes how gastrointestinal examinations are conducted. This low-cost, disposable, remote-controlled pill camera is designed to provide a high-quality alternative to traditional invasive endoscopy procedures. With the ability to perform self-propulsion using three pump jet motors, PillBot™ can navigate through the stomach while delivering real-time video feed at a resolution of 480 x 480 pixels and a frame rate of 10 frames per second. The device operates wirelessly, utilizing a high-bandwidth transceiver for data transmission, and is powered by a lithium-ion battery that ensures extensive runtime, making it a practical solution for patients.

The PillBot™ procedure is streamlined and patient-friendly, requiring no anesthesia or extensive pre-operative visits. Patients simply swallow the pill, which is slightly larger than a standard multivitamin, and the entire process takes about 10 minutes. This innovative approach not only reduces the costs associated with traditional endoscopy, which can reach up to $2,000, but also minimizes the need for multiple clinic visits and the involvement of several medical professionals. By providing immediate results, PillBot™ enhances patient engagement and allows healthcare providers to make timely recommendations based on real-time data.
