Question: how do you video the guts?

@Maddie: We are working on a so called “endoscopic capsule”. You can think of it as a paracetamol pill equipped with a tiny camera and a mini ultrasound transducer (what a doctor uses to visualise babies in a tummy). When you swallow this pill, it starts taking a video by sending the data to an external receiver (iPad for example) and if there are any suspicious spots for example, you can see it afterwards on the recorded video. The ultrasound additionally records everything that is not at first visible. With this you can find cancer for example at an early stage, so that it might still be curable. Is that answer ok to understand or would you like more information?
