So I might have the opportunity to do an interesting teardown....
My wife had a capsule endoscopy yesterday. (Don't worry - she's already ruled out any scary prognosis.) This involves swallowing a tiny pill camera and taking a video of its journey. She spent the day wearing a belt that looks like it has an antenna array for receiving a video signal - and potentially for powering the device NFC-style too. I couldn't do too much other than take a photo of that as it's equipment that has to be returned and she'd be instructed not to disconnect or fiddle with it. (Medical stuff is always really expensive too.)
However, apparently the camera itself is "to be flushed away". Quite apart from the e-waste going down the drain, this seems like something interesting and disposable that warrants a teardown.
The questions is - should I? As you can imagine, the retrieval of the device might not be the most pleasant process! My wife said if it doesn't look too grim then she'll let me know. It may depend on whether she's at home when it reappears I suppose.
Any thoughts?
