Our Technology
Microscale wireless Bionauts reach deep locations in the body, safely & precisely.
Bionaut will enable us to measure, analyze and treat human diseases in a way not attainable with existing technical approaches.
Properties Overview
Precision: Move safely and predictably through diverse tissues and compartments, following complex 3D trajectory.
Access: Navigate a wide range of biological media and tissue types, ranging from the simple Newtonian fluids to dense tumors and fibrous tissue.
Safety: Reach locations through optimized, safer trajectories precisely, without the need to drag an unnecessary tether or actuating arm.
Modular Design: Use modular components, allowing the creation of optimized combinations for different anatomical compartments and different tasks.
Payload: Deliver modality agnostic diverse payloads, such as therapeutic small molecules, biologics, cell/gene therapy and/or diagnostic/sensory payload
PrecisionMagnetic Propulsion allow Bionauts to track on a complex 3D trajectory with precision
The Bionauts are propelled to the designated disease target using external magnetic field. The micro-robots follow safe, predetermined 3D trajectory in the body and are monitored via live imaging.
AccessDirect wireless access to previously inaccessible deep locations in the body
Bionauts are able to navigate a wide range of biological media and tissue types, ranging from simple Newtonian fluids to dense tumors and fibrous tissue.
SafetySize, precision and wireless control yields an unparalleled safety profile
Bionaut is able to reach locations through optimized, safer trajectories precisely, without the need to drag an unnecessary tether or actuating arm which runs the risk of damaging tissue away from the target point.
Modular Design
In the human body, one solution does not fit all. Modularity is key.
Physiological and therapeutic needs differ, one approach does not fit all. To address this challenge, the Bionaut platform is built of several integrated, tunable modules. The platform offers solutions customized to specific disease and patient.
Form Factors + Payloads = Highly Customizable Solutions.
Bionaut Form Factor
Bionauts are designed in a range of sizes, shapes, topologies and functions. Design is driven by the disease site being targeted, tissue applicability, therapeutic payload, required route to target site and dosage type.
