Invented in Israel: Pillcam with Developer Rafael Naveh
Hosted By: Volunteers for Israel (VFI)
You may have heard of this brilliant non-invasive invention in the news! PillCam is a 3cm long capsule developed in Israel that is swallowed and travels through the intestines taking pictures that are transmitted to a recorder. It allows physicians to observe the cause of malfunction leading to remedial procedures. The presentation will describe the background of the invention and the company built around it.

Rafi served as VP R&D at Given Imaging, where he led the development of the advanced generations of PillCam.
