A Bay Area startup has developed a new pill that may change what an endoscopy looks like for millions. Called Endiatx, the pill would allow people to do the procedure from the privacy of their own home.
It’s called Endiatx. What’s in a name? In this case everything.
Smith founded the fledging startup four years ago. He is taking aim and the multi-billion dollar endoscopy business by creating a robotic pill camera that remotely maneuver through your G.I. tract. They hope it will detect early cancers with no prep, no sedation, no recovery time, and no hospital visit for a fraction of the cost.
The 41-year-old Aerospace Engineer’s pill-bot has going from a large shoe sized prototype swimming in pools to a complex, high-tech mini swimming eyeball that is now months away from Institutional Review Board clinical trials at the Mayo Clinic. Smith was the first to swallow pill-bot in 2020--his first of 15 trials. It has since swam inside a cadaver bodies stomach at the Mayo Clinic. The biggest hurdles now, Smith said, is improving its maneuverability and video clarity.
