16. A communication device arranged for transmitting information from a medicament delivery device having a longitudinal axis, where the communication device comprises:
a rotating printed circuit board configured to determine information related to a medicament delivery performed by the medicament delivery device;
a switch connected to the printed circuit board such that the switch projects distally from the printed circuit board and that rotates with the printed circuit board relative to the longitudinal axis, where the switch detects a rotation of a physical part of the medicament delivery device;
a non-rotating stationary wall positioned within the communication device or within a housing of the medicament delivery device, where during rotation the switch moves from a non-aligned position relative to the wall to an aligned position such that when in the aligned position the switch and the printed circuit board are activated; and
a transmitter that provides a wireless transmission of the information to an external receiving device,
wherein the switch is rotated by the rotation of the rotating physical part of the medicament delivery device relative to the wall, and
wherein the switch is rotated automatically in response to the medicament delivery performed by the medicament delivery device without user action.
