Check-Cap Ltd

A maker of ingestible medical imaging capsules, this Israeli company developed C-Scan, a swallowable pill that uses ultra-low-dose X-rays to map the colon for colorectal cancer screening without the bowel prep of a traditional colonoscopy. Founded in 2004 by Yoav Kimchy, the name blends "check" (the screening) with "cap" (short for capsule). It later merged with MBody AI Corp. to shift into robotics-focused artificial intelligence.
