Why the need for robotics?

With current capsule technology, evaluation of the stomach is challenging.  The capsule cannot be guided and can remain in the stomach for 15 minutes to hours, relying on gravity and peristalsis to move through the body.  To evaluate the entirety of the stomach, an active capsule is necessary…one that can be manipulated.  The best way to accomplish this utilizes magnetic control along with sophisticated software and algorithms.

Robotics – a Helping Hand for Clinicians

The NaviCam® Stomach System utilizes advanced robotic technologies combined with innovative and intelligent software to provide physicians with external robotic control of a capsule inside the human body.
