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&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Our significant advantage over traditional endoscopy is patient comfort and overcoming the mental barrier. Patients who have not dared to undergo an invasive examination for years despite their doctor&#8217;s recommendations are much more likely to swallow a capsule that does not differ in size from a vitamin\/dietary supplement&#8221;, says Maciej Wysocki, president and one of the founders of BioCam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/itwiz.pl\/diagnostyka-calego-ukladu-pokarmowego-przy-pomocy-przelomowej-kapsulki-biocam\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/itwiz.pl\/diagnostyka-calego-ukladu-pokarmowego-przy-pomocy-przelomowej-kapsulki-biocam\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of scientists from medtech BioCam has developed an innovative product that is a non-invasive alternative to gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
