Using his background in both military guidance systems and magnetics control technologies, he envisioned a device that could maneuver a catheter tip through 3-D space using magnets to pull the catheter from point A to point B rather than pushing a catheter through tissue. In addition, he believed a system like this would be able to use developing robotic technology and advanced imaging systems to be able to provide a high-resolution map of the area in the patient’s body being traversed, and also to be able to respond to the constantly shifting environmental parameters of that environment, such as the movement inside of a beating heart. The ability to more accurately guide a catheter to the position was obvious, but the system could also provide a unique ability
