Research summary
Patients without alarming symptoms are at low risk of bowel cancer . However, in majority of those patients colonoscopy is needed to diagnose bowel conditions . Evaluation of patients in low-intermediate risk group represent significant pressure for colonoscopy services .In order to reduce potential diagnostic delays as a result of COVID pandemic , the role of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) as a non invasive diagnostic test is being increasingly recognise, which allows for a pain-free colonic assessment by eliminating the need for instrument insertion, or sedation. At present in order to perform the CCE procedure it still requires patients to attend hospital. we are aiming by using 5G connected CCE home delivery system we will be able to reduce the colonoscopy waiting time and increase patients compliance and satisfaction while going through the investigation of bowel symptoms in the comfort of their own home.
