Soft robot could help diagnose small intestine disorders
Original: A soft robot could help doctors diagnose and treat disorders of the small intestine
MIT researchers have developed a soft robot designed to help doctors diagnose and treat disorders of the small intestine. The device, described by MIT News, is intended to navigate the digestive tract where conventional endoscopes struggle to reach. If it proves effective in clinical use, it could make examinations and treatments of the small bowel safer and less invasive for patients.
Why now: A new medical robotics advance from MIT promises less invasive diagnosis of a hard-to-reach part of the digestive system.
