MedGadget named Saratoga, Calif.-based CapsoVision's CapsoCam and Tirat Carmel, Israel based-Motus GI's Pure-Vu two of the best medical technologies of 2016, according to a report.
Here's what you should know.
1. CapsoCam received the honor because of its four camera and LED lighting system. Most digestible endoscopes have a single forward facing camera which produces inconsistent results, but the CapsoCam allows for multiple views of the intestines' interior.

- Brain assessment
- Drones
