Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a tool comprising:
- one or more microfingers having substantially elongate structures;
- a plurality of sensing tips electrically and mechanically coupled to the one or more microfingers, the plurality of sensing tips configured to interface with a wall of a lumen coupled to an organ of a subject;
- and
- a control unit;
- a feedback system coupled with the tool;
- wherein the control unit of the tool is configured:
- to apply a procedure to a first region in a vicinity of the lumen via delivery of at least one of energy and a chemical utilizing at least one of the plurality of sensing tips;
- and
- to apply a subsequent procedure to a second region in the vicinity of the lumen via delivery of at least one of energy and a chemical utilizing at least one of the plurality of sensing tips;
- to monitor one or more physiologic parameters of the subject utilizing at least one of the plurality of sensing tips after application of the subsequent procedure;
- and
- to convey one or more signals representing the monitored physiologic parameters to the feedback system;
- and
- wherein the feedback system is configured:
- to determine one or more changes in the physiologic parameters utilizing the one or more signals conveyed from the tool;
- and
- to convey an outcome of the procedure to an operator based upon the determined changes in the physiologic parameters.
