I am a physician and here's a bit more on the pill cam: the pill is not in competition with the "wired" camera ("endoscope" a fiberoptic camera that you insert into the site of interest). The pill is passively carried through the GI tract and takes pictures along the way. An endosope is actively driven by the operator and can image an part of the stomach or large intestine. An analogy: Imagine sending a video camera through the Grand Canyon by floating it down the Colorado in a barrel with a small hole in it (the pill) - then compare that to watching a video of the grand canyon made by National Geographic (the scope). 2 very different views. The big advantage of the "pill" is that it can get to places that the scopes can't, namely the small intestine. But small intestine problems are fairly rare, so there will never be a big market for the pill until they make one that you can "drive" to focus on a site of interest. Then it will rapidly crush the endoscope market. Since you have offered me much good information on your site, I thought I’d weigh in on this issue.

The harness is a bit bulky but the results were good. I believe it will fly but will take some time to build a following. Then again, we live in a town of only 52,000 and the nearset city of any size is 2 1/2 hours away so if we have it..... One of my employees just used this.
