About the project
This project will develop a wireless, magnetically-driven capsule robot designed for continuous, non-invasive gastrointestinal (GI) monitoring.
The rising incidence of gastrointestinal disorders has created a critical need for advanced diagnostic tools that are minimally invasive, precise, and capable of continuous data collection. Traditional endoscopy, while effective, is invasive, requires sedation, and provides only limited, snapshot data, rather than real-time, continuous monitoring. This project addresses these limitations by developing a wireless, magnetically-driven capsule robot designed for continuous, non-invasive GI monitoring.
This capsule robot aims to revolutionise GI diagnostics through non-invasive, real-time health monitoring with high spatial and temporal resolution. By integrating precise localisation and advanced biochemical sensing capabilities, the capsule can deliver continuous insights into GI health conditions, enabling early detection and diagnosis of GI disorders. This project aligns with the broader goals of personalised medicine and advanced healthcare engineering, setting new standards in non-invasive diagnostics and monitoring.
