What about swallowing a pill camera? Could these be a slightly less invasive way to screen your colon? The technology for pill cameras along with AI should keep improving.



One benefit of a "proper" colonoscopy is that the scope has a little wire that's used to remove polyps. Polyps have a high chance to progress to tumors, so nipping them in the bud is a good idea. Can't do that with a pill camera setup.
