New Methodology for Colonoscopy Simulation
Colonoscopy simulation will be improved for training, planning, and research using a new methodology.
In Intelligent Robotic Endoscopes (IRE) for Improved Healthcare Services, we envision creating intelligent robotic solutions to perform colonoscopies, ensuring faster and less painful screenings for patients suffering from bowel cancer.
Our project will leverage a new generation of intelligent robots capable of interacting with the human body using data, simulation, and learning while maintaining communication with a human operator. By enhancing current endoscope technology with robotic control, the healthcare system can achieve faster detection of bowel cancer. Given the significant anatomical variations among patients, endoscopy is a complex navigational challenge even for experienced clinicians. Our robotic endoscope will minimize patient discomfort, thereby improving both the frequency and quality of examinations.
