Endiatx has begun clinical trials of its ingestible PillBot™, which will enable doctors to remotely examine the gastrointestinal tract of a patient over a zoom call. Endiatx's technologies promise much more though, with the company planning to add tools to remove polyps, cauterize bleeds, sample the microbiome, and collect biopsy samples.

Endiatx已开始其可摄入PillBot™的临床试验，这将使医生能够通过缩放呼叫远程检查患者的胃肠道。然而，Endiatx的技术承诺更大，该公司计划增加去除息肉、烧灼出血、采集微生物组样本和采集活检样本的工具。

The company's product development roadmap proposes a suite of robotic surgeons of ever-decreasing size and broadening applications for use within the human body. The obvious benefits of this technology are immediate diagnosis anywhere on the planet with minimum invasiveness, but the company believes that one day in the not-too-distant future, an army of rice-grain-sized surgeons may operate on you while you go about your normal daily routine..

该公司的产品开发路线图提出了一套机器人外科医生，其规模不断缩小，应用范围不断扩大，可在人体内使用。这项技术的明显好处是可以在地球上任何地方以最小的侵袭性进行即时诊断，但该公司相信，在不太遥远的将来，有一天，一大批米粒大小的外科医生可能会在你进行正常的日常生活时对你进行手术。。

PillBot™ is a motorized robot pill that forms a virtual endoscope in the human stomach. This allows a gastroenterologist to conduct a basic upper endoscopy screening over a zoom call, with the patient in the comfort of their own home! That is, the PillBot™ will be able to be maneuvered in the patient's stomach by a remote doctor, who will be able to view the live footage and make a diagnosis, while the patient will not need to make a hospital visit or undergo anesthesia and a time-consuming cavalcade of expensive medical procedures..

PillBot™是一种电动机器人药丸，可在人体胃内形成虚拟内窥镜。这使肠胃科医生可以通过缩放呼叫进行基本的上消化道内窥镜检查，患者可以在自己舒适的家中进行！也就是说，PillBot™将能够由远程医生在患者的胃中进行操作，远程医生将能够查看实时视频并进行诊断，而患者不需要去医院就诊或进行麻醉以及耗时的昂贵医疗程序。。

Quite clearly, the possibilities for the future of tele-health are exciting, but the technologies developed to enable the PillBot™ to move around in three dimensions in a liquid-filled human stomach may have applications in other difficult-to-access underwater environments, such as internal pipe inspection.Source: Endiatx.

很明显，远程保健未来的可能性令人兴奋，但为使PillBot™能够在充满液体的人体胃中三维移动而开发的技术可能适用于其他难以进入的水下环境，例如内部管道检查。资料来源：Endiatx。
