Methods of processing data obtained from medical device

A method of processing data derived from a sensor disposed on a substantially autonomous intestinal probe, said data having been generated while said probe moved substantially autonomously through the intestinal tract of a living being, the method comprising:

• receiving the data at a computerized device comprising a display device, a processor and at least one computer program configured to run on the processor;
• and
• processing at least a portion of said received data using at least said processor and said at least one computer program, said processing comprising:
• evaluating the at least a portion using said at least one computer program to identify at least a first portion of the received data that is of possible interest to a human reviewer;
• and
• at least initially only presenting said first portion to the human reviewer via the display device.

A method of processing data derived from a sensor disposed on a substantially autonomous intestinal probe, said data having been generated while said probe moved substantially autonomously through the intestinal tract of a living being, the method configured to enhance an efficiency of review of the data by a human reviewer, the method comprising:

• receiving the data at a computerized device comprising a display device, a processor, and at least one computer program configured to run on the processor;
• and
• processing at least a portion of said received data using at least said processor and said at least one computer program, said processing comprising:
• generating a plurality of frames from said at least portion of said received data;
• processing said plurality of frames using said at least one computer program to select a subset of said plurality of frames that are likely to be of most interest to the reviewer;
• and
• generating a display on the display device, the display comprising at least a portion of said subset of frames displayed simultaneously in respective ones of different regions of a display region of the monitor.

A method of processing data derived from a sensor disposed on a swallowable intestinal probe, said data having been generated while said probe moved through the intestinal tract of a living being, the method comprising:

• receiving the data at a computerized device comprising a processor and at least one computer program configured to run on the processor;
• and
• processing at least a portion of said received data using at least said processor and said at least one computer program, said processing comprising:
• generating a plurality of frames from said at least portion of said received data;
• using said at least one computer program to analyze said plurality of frames to identify a subset of said plurality of frames of potential interest to a user of the computerized device, the identification of the subset based at least in part on recognition of a multi-sided shape or artifact rendered in at least one of the frames of the subset;
• and
• generating a display on a monitor associated with the computerized device, the display comprising at least a portion of said subset of frames displayed in a sequence.
