A group of scientists from medtech BioCam has developed an innovative product that is a non-invasive alternative to gastroscopy and colonoscopy. The device, which is just 11 mm wide and 23 mm long, could make a real revolution in the field of gastrology. The capsule will take pictures and transmit them to the doctor on its own”.

The BioCam solution is a remote and contactless system for diagnosing the digestive system. The patient swallows a capsule, which passes through the digestive tract and takes pictures, thanks to peristaltic movements. The images are sent to a recording device that the patient wears on a belt around the waist.

“Our significant advantage over traditional endoscopy is patient comfort and overcoming the mental barrier.
