E131 | Leveraging A Robotic Pill for Non-Invasive Access to the Body

This episode of AI for Pharma Growth features an interview with Torrey Smith, the Co-Founder and CEO of Endiatx, a company developing a revolutionary robotic pill that can provide a non-invasive way to observe inside the human body.

Torrey explains the journey of Endiatx, progressing from a startup in a Silicon Valley garage to clinical trials and engagement with leading healthcare institutions, including a conversation with the FDA. Endiatx's "PillBot" aims to bridge the gap between traditional endoscopy procedures and a more advanced, patient-friendly approach.

The discussion delves into the inspiration behind PillBot, drawing from classic science fiction films. Torrey also provides insights into the timeline for FDA approval and the company's plans to bring this innovative technology to the US market in early 2026.

Key topics covered:

• Endiatx's vision for a robotic pill and how it provides non-invasive access to the body
• The interdisciplinary approach required to develop PillBot
• The company's progress from a startup to clinical trials and engagement with healthcare institutions
• The timeline for FDA approval and plans to bring this technology to the US market
