Topic: capsule endoscopy data

I swallowed a PillCam (for a capsule endoscopy) early this morning, and now I have a monitoring/recording unit attached to me until I go back to the hospital at 3:30pm. So I googled the instruction manual for the monitoring unit and discovered that I can view real-time images from the PillCam on the monitoring unit. Very cool! I wish I had a way to capture all my data to my computer. Of course I don't want to monkey with things too much and risk messing up the recording process.

Did you find out if they let you download your data to your computer? That would be very cool!

@John Keyes what ever became of this?
John Keyes (Sep 19 2021 at 11:13):
@Dave deBronkart @Debi Willis Actually, I'm still waiting for the test results (apparently it takes a long time to manually review the thousands of images for possible issues), so I've had no communication with the doctor or hospital about this yet.
