====Introduction""""====

After the kick off event of the Nano-Tera program on January 29th, the journalist Stéphane Zindel and his team from the journal ""BILAN"" came up with an artist vision for representing their understanding of a an application example of this program to be communicated to a broader public. This artist vision is a flashback to the 1966 film [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Voyage Le Voyage Fantastique]] illustrating a fleet of microcapsules embarking a plethora of complex micro-nano devices and electronics that are to operate in the human body for gathering and processing Tera amounts of data to be remotely transferred to the outside world.

Since the release of 'The Voyage Fantastique' a lot of fiction has since moved to science with present real application such as //Wireless Capsule Endoscopy// enabling the diagnosis of health condition of the gastro intestinal mucosa. Present science and further developments connected to such present complex engineered systems is to enable many more valuable applications with ambitious future health monitoring, diagnosis, biopsy, localized targeted drug delivery, healing and eventually surgery such as laser based or else.

Beyond these most interesting individual functionalities, further interest is also to be recognized in this graphic design which is representing a fleet of nano-camera. Such a fleet builds a networked of distributed sensors. This visionary information gathering concept inside a body is in line with many presently addressed research and development projects challenging the synergies of the micro-nano hardware with the information-communication worlds that are to lead to highly complex engineered systems. One existing research program example that has been identified in this area is the European FP6 //"[[http://ecubes.epfl.ch/public/p_objectives.htm e-cubes]]"// program which likely benefited to some extend from former projects like the //"[[http://www.e-grain.org/overview/index.html e-grain]]"// that terminated in 2005 and the //"[[http://robotics.eecs.berkeley.edu/~pister/SmartDust smart dust]]"// project in the US that terminated already in 2001. The latter project also led to further new projects such as: [[http://local.cs.berkeley.edu/webs Wireless Embedded Systems]], [[http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/nest-index.html NEST Project]], [[http://research.cens.ucla.edu Center For Embedded Network Sensing]].

====Participation: "Top-Down Bottom-Up"""""====

While particularly encouraged within the Swiss community, the present web platform has no geographical limitations and is opened to all outside-in reflections and ideas. To have a topic selected on this web platform, it has to be submitted via a graphical illustration as in the present case, preferably a visionary one. The best graphical illustrations will be selected and undergo a preliminary survey analysis by the Nano-Tera Management Office to trigger input and further exchanges about competitive understanding and shared interests. These are then posted on the Nano-Tera Top-Down Bottom-Up web platform for further input and participation.
We strongly encourage projects that are financed by Nano-Tera to take part and expose themselves to this ?Top-Down Bottom-Up? open source information sharing in order to have projects gain in exposure and knowledge from valuable outside-in input and critics. The latter can be from the industry, academia or general public.
On critical issues, strategic players or individuals have the possibility to directly contact the management office via a MP or the Executive Director at peter.bradley@nano-tera.ch.

====General Information""""====

Wireless Capsule Endoscopy is a term used to describe a miniature capsule used to record images through the digestive tract for use in medicine. The capsule is a camera with the size and shape of a pill used to visualize the gastrointestinal tract. The procedure was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2001. It is an imaging device for the detection of gastrointestinal diseases.

Capsule endoscopy is used as a less-invasive procedure in placement of a traditional endoscope, which is a long, thin tube inserted into the rectum and transversed through the colon or into the oral cavity. The technology is used by gastroenterologists to detect diseases such as Crohn's disease, gastric ulcers, and colon cancer. At the present time, the capsule camera is primarily used to visualize the small intestine. Whereas the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, and duodenum) and the colon (large intestine) can be very adequately visualized with scopes (cameras placed at the ends of thin flexible tubes), the small intestine is very long (average 20-25 feet) and very convoluted. No available scope is able to traverse the entire length of the small intestine. Because the capsule is swallowed and travels through the digestive system, capsule endoscopy takes a longer amount of time than traditional endoscopy. The images are of good quality, comparable to those from scopes. The test carries a high sensitivity and specificity for detecting lesions. Early research has shown that capsule endoscopy can detect evidence of disease in some cases that traditional endoscopy cannot.
