1. A method comprising:

  • receiving a first input associated with a first dataset, the first dataset including data representative of a fluorescent response in one or more target cells to electromagnetic energy from a first optical energy source;

    receiving a second input associated with a second dataset, the second dataset including data representative of an orientation of targeting electromagnetic energy from a second optical energy source alignable with the first optical energy source;

    determining data representative of a location of a target area at least partially based on one or more ofthe first dataset and the second dataset; and

    providing a first output to a first motive source, the first output providing data representative of one or more parameters associated with movement of an untethered device in a lumen at least partially based on the location of the target area.
