PILL CAMERA

Scientific advances in areas such as nanotechnology and gene therapy Promise to revolutionize the way we discover and
develop drugs, as well as how we diagnose and treat disease. In fact, with a scholarly discussion on the creation of things
in general. New organs such as kidney, and eyes as well as chlorophyll are the promises of the technology.

The ‘Camera in a Pill form’ is one recent development that is generating considerable interest as one of the
deliverables of Nanotech. Until recently, only the proximal (esophagus, stomach and duodenum) and the distal (colon)
portions of the Gastrointestinal tract were easily visible using available technology. The twenty feet or more (25 feet at
an average) of small intestine in between these two portions was essentially Unreachable. This might soon become a
thing of the past as Nanotechnology is looking for a way to leverage on the peristatic movement from the esophagus
throughout the colon to implant a device that can go all the way without human intervention. The Camera has the
ability to travel through the gut and send thousands of pictures to a receiver which is further analyzed for desired result.
This paper work Looks into the technical background and the functionality of the device and infer on the future outlook
of further works in the line.
