[...] Medical Tie- In. For some time I have been speaking about the coming radical transformation of medicine. I have written before about the “fantastic voyage” surgical idea. In this 1966 movie, a submarine and its scientis/doctor team are shrunk down and inected into the body to diagnose and treat a blood clot (they use a laser of course. You can see past posts about rmars rover technology in medicine here, an implantable cardiac robot here and a self-propelled swimming robot here. My podcast that reviews the coming surgical revolution including self-contained miniature robots here. [...]

[...] I am very excited about recent reports of tiny scopes to look inside the breast or into the spine or into the brain. I belive microendoscopes will continue to evolve. This report is impoin that this is a new type of endoscope that uses a different mechanism for providing the image. The system allows radically smaller scopes and potentially provides a 3D image. THis opens up the potential for remote imaging and for computer modification of the images- the two topics I belive define the future of endoscopic surgery. [...]

[...] Recently approved by the FDA, SmartPill is the next generation of swallowable GI diagnostics. I have been involved as an MD in miniaturized endoscopy for some time. This is an important advancement since it is the first time the sensor has moved beyond visual imaging to other diagnostics. The swallowable pill technology is not new. Originally developed by NASA to measure core temperature of astronauts (I used this capsule in research on menopausal hot flashes 10 years ago). The next major breakthrough was by Israeli company Given Imaging who put a small video camera and location system to provide images of GI pathology. SmartPill sets the sage for endless diagnostics and therapeutics in addition to video.
