The document discusses the capsule camera, a vitamin pill-sized device invented by Gavriel Iddan in 2000, which allows for non-invasive imaging of the gastrointestinal tract. It features a 10mm diameter, captures 5,000 images during an 8-hour examination, and is useful for diagnosing diseases like Crohn's disease and tumors. Despite its advantages of being painless and made from bio-compatible material, it faces drawbacks such as high cost and risks for patients with intestinal narrowing, while its future may include enhancements like zooming and longer battery life.
