In an eye-opening conversation on The Recharge Biomedical Podcast, inventor and aerospace engineer Torrey Smith unveils the future of GI diagnostics: PillBot—a self-powered, camera-equipped capsule that swims through your stomach, controlled in real time.
No wires. No sedation. No hospital bed.
Inspired by science fiction and engineered through cutting-edge material science, PillBot promises to replace traditional endoscopy with a painless, non-invasive experience. Already being tested for upper GI uses, the tech could one day treat diseases from within, opening the door to a new era of “Pill Surgeons.”
