AIDO
THE 3rd HAND OF ENDOSCOPIST
We are building the future for interventional endoscopy.
Our mission is to transform the fight against cancer through innovation in robotic endoscopy.

FACILITATE AND STANDARDIZE COMPLEXE BIOPSIES OF PANCREAS
With over half a million deaths per year, pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer. Without any improvement in the past decades, it is on its way to become the second cause of cancer-related death by 2030. Usually discovered at a late stage, its survival rate is poor. Diagnostic of pancreatic cancer by the mean of a biopsy performed by endoscopy is a complexe and manual procedure, which precision depends on lesion size. AIDO is developing a robot compatible with endoscopes to facilitate and standardize biopsies of small lesions of the pancreas to help early detection of cancer.
Our Technology
AIDO BRINGS FORTH AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION TO ENDOSCOPIC PROCEDURES
AIDO’s technology is a true intelligent assistant for the endoscopist, a modular system made up of hardware and software components. AIDO is an add-on to endoscopes, compatible with equipment currently used. Apart from assisting biopsies of the pancreas, AIDO can be adapted for other frequent indications in endoscopy in order to increase the performance of practitioners and help them carry out complex procedures in an increasingly resource-constrained environment and optimize patient outcome.
