“…Thus, it is imperative that the IoT is introduced into the WCE system as well. The existing WCE systems cannot yet offer real-time detection as the diagnosis is mainly done offline [6]. In addition, a self-data analyzing intelligent system could be helpful, which can select useful data for transmission and save transmission cost, bandwidth, and energy.…”

“…A typical WCE system consists of a pill-shaped electronic capsule, a data recorder with radio frequency (RF) antenna, and a workstation computer with software, as shown in Figure 1. The capsule is integrated with an image sensor, illumination source, batteries, communication module, and other components [5,6]. Once the capsule is active and swallowed by the patient, it starts capturing images and sending the captured images to the data recorder via the RF transmitter.…”

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) has been widely used in gastrointestinal (GI) diagnosis that allows the physicians to examine the interior wall of the human GI tract through a pain-free procedure. However, there are still several limitations of the technology, which limits its functionality, ultimately limiting its wide acceptance. Its counterpart, the wired endoscopic system is a painful procedure that demotivates patients from going through the procedure, and adversely affects early diagnosis. Furthermore, the current generation of capsules is unable to automate the detection of abnormality. As a result, physicians are required to spend longer hours to examine each image from the endoscopic capsule for abnormalities, which makes this technology tiresome and error-prone. Early detection of cancer is important to improve the survival rate in patients with colorectal cancer. Hence, a fluorescence-imaging-based endoscopic capsule that automates the detection process of colorectal cancer was designed and developed in our lab. The proof of concept of this endoscopic capsule was tested on porcine intestine and liquid phantom. The proposed WCE system offers great possibilities for future applicability in selective and specific detection of other fluorescently labelled cancers.

“…The range of data which wearables are currently able to detect and process is impressive, spanning across the physiological, biochemical and spatial (Dunn, Runge, and Snyder 2018). Additionally, devices are available which can provide internal anatomical data via processes such as endoscopy (Alam et al 2019), although strictly speaking, these probably fall outside of the definition of a wearable device.…”

“…This model enables adoption of future innovations, such as Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, smart healthcare, robotics, AI-based video analysis and remote consultation ( Figure 4 ). The development of different IoT sensors may enhance the current endoscopy techniques and allow for remote and real-time functioning of modern endoscopy centres [ 107 ]. Together with smart health-care concept, it allows for robotic equipment to provide remote monitoring and diagnosis of patients in real-time [ 104 ].…”

Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract pathology is common worldwide. With recent advancements in robotics, innovative diagnostic and treatment devices have been developed and several translational attempts made. This review paper aims to provide a highly pictorial critical review of robotic gastroscopes, so that clinicians and researchers can obtain a swift and comprehensive overview of key technologies and challenges. Therefore, the paper presents robotic gastroscopes, either commercial or at a progressed technology readiness level. Among them, we show tethered and wireless gastroscopes, as well as devices aimed for UGI surgery. The technological features of these instruments, as well as their clinical adoption and performance, are described and compared. Although the existing endoscopic devices have thus far provided substantial improvements in the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment, there are certain aspects that represent unwavering predicaments of the current gastroenterology practice. A detailed list includes difficulties and risks, such as transmission of communicable diseases (e.g., COVID-19) due to the doctor–patient proximity, unchanged learning curves, variable detection rates, procedure-related adverse events, endoscopists’ and nurses’ burnouts, limited human and/or material resources, and patients’ preferences to choose non-invasive options that further interfere with the successful implementation and adoption of routine screening. The combination of robotics and artificial intelligence, as well as remote telehealth endoscopy services, are also discussed, as viable solutions to improve existing platforms for diagnosis and treatment are emerging.
