Major funding was awarded to Artann for the development of a Colonoscope Force Monitor (CFM) technology. The grant is funded within the Small Business Innovation Research NIH Phase II program of National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. CFM is a handheld attachment mounted on the colonoscope shaft which provides a physician with real-time feedback on the force and torque applied during colonoscopy. The CFM is designed to improve the training of endoscopists, establish best practices for performing colonoscopy by quantitative characterization of expert's skill, and enhance colorectal cancer screening procedures by making them safer and more comfortable.
