1. A capsulated medical equipment comprising:

  • a capsulated body adapted to be inserted into a subject, the capsulated body comprising;

    a biomedical information detecting unit adapted to obtain biomedical information about the subject,a communication device adapted to modulate the biomedical information into a signal to be transmitted, andan antenna for transmitting the signal to outside of the subject; and

    a receiver located outside of the subject and adapted to be carried by the subject, the receiver comprising;

    an extracorporeal antenna unit adapted to receive the signal transmitted from the antenna of the capsulated body,a demodulation unit adapted to demodulate the received signal to create a biomedical information data of the subject;

    a first storage device adapted to store the biomedical information data,a first display for displaying information,a position calculation section adapted to calculate a three-dimensional position of the capsulated body based on the strength of the received signal, anda position change calculation unit adapted to calculate a change in three-dimensional position of the capsulated body over time, to judge whether the calculated change in three-dimensional position over time is equal to or smaller than a pre-set threshold, and if the calculated change in three-dimensional position over time is judged to be equal to or smaller than the pre-set threshold, to instruct the first display to display a warning message;

    wherein the first storage device is connectable to a second storage device which stores therein the biomedical information data and which is connected to a second display for displaying the biomedical information data read from the second storage device.
