About EndoTheia

EndoTheia, Inc. was borne out of a collaborative effort between engineers, roboticists, and clinicians who all share a common mission: to improve standards of care in flexible endoscopy by re-imagining the way in which tools are delivered through endoscopes.

To date, EndoTheia has been funded exclusively through federal and state small business grants.
