==INGESTIBLE DEVICE WITH PROPULSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008726 titled 'INGESTIBLE DEVICE WITH PROPULSION

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an ingestible device that is in the form of a cylindrical capsule. The capsule has a central axis and is designed with a proximal end portion and an atraumatically shaped distal end portion. The device includes a propulsion unit located at the proximal end portion, which enables the movement of the capsule within the body.

* The device is an ingestible capsule with a cylindrical shape and a central axis.
* It has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion that is designed to be gentle on the body.
* The capsule includes a propulsion unit at the proximal end, allowing it to move within the body.

Potential Applications:
* Medical diagnostics: The device can be used for imaging or collecting data from within the body, providing valuable information for medical diagnosis.
* Drug delivery: The capsule can be used to deliver medication to specific locations within the body, offering targeted treatment options.
* Monitoring and tracking: The device can be utilized to monitor various health parameters or track the movement of certain substances within the body.

Problems Solved:
* Non-invasive exploration: The device offers a less invasive alternative to traditional methods of exploring the body, reducing the need for invasive procedures.
* Targeted treatment: The capsule enables precise delivery of medication to specific areas, minimizing side effects and improving treatment efficacy.
* Continuous monitoring: The device allows for continuous monitoring of health parameters, providing real-time data without the need for frequent interventions.

Benefits:
* Minimally invasive: The ingestible nature of the device eliminates the need for surgical procedures, reducing patient discomfort and recovery time.
* Precise and targeted: The propulsion unit enables controlled movement of the capsule, ensuring it reaches the desired location within the body.
* Real-time data: The device provides real-time data, allowing for immediate analysis and intervention if necessary.
* Versatile: The device can be used for various applications, making it a flexible tool in the field of medicine.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an ingestible device includes a cylindrical capsule having a central axis defined therethrough, a proximal end portion, and an atraumatically shaped distal end portion. a propulsion unit is disposed at the proximal end portion of the capsule for effecting movement of the capsule within an in vivo environment.
