ADVANCED FUTURE MED.
Screening is the most powerful weapon against CRC.
Regular Screening find CRC early, can even prevent CRC.
A polyp can take ~ 10 to 15 years to develop into cancer.
Early stage CRC: 5-year survival 90%. (Only 40% found early)
When cancer has spread, survival rates are much lower.
Unfortunately, about 1 in 3 people in the US have never been screened.
REASONS:
Lack of knowledge, or fear
Economic, no insurance coverage
Other health issues prevent screening
Cultural

*Overcome Cons of Capsule Endoscopy
*Decrease the size of micro camera
*Faster & Cost effective
*Safer than existing GI endoscopy devices
*No sedation required
More acceptable by most patients
*Safe delivery devices for GI lesion detection
*No battery.
*Active movement
*Easy to operate. Automation with AI.
*Low cost
*No Sedation Necessary
Minimize endoscopy safety concerns
Precision Positioning of detection device
Deliver any emission source or probe to the precise position to give better 3D or topologic images. Can carry:
Light camera(s)
IR probes for active and passive IR imaging
Localized delivery of drugs to lesion and/or pathological alterations in GI track
Prevention Is the Major Player of the Future Medicine
