CAPTURE

The CAPTURE project focuses on improving wireless capsule endoscopy for improved diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of patients. There have been increases in the incidence of most gastrointestinal disorders in Europe, which has major implications for future healthcare services. The incidence and prevalence of many gastrointestinal disorders are highest among older people, and with an ageing European population, this will lead to an increased burden on healthcare across Europe. We will have special attention to IBDs, as this is increasing in occurrence in Europe. Several reports have highlighted a lack in both the content and quality of education and training in gastroenterology in Europe. The project will advance WCE to improve image-based diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of patients. CAPTURE will lead to innovative techniques and tools to reduce the workload of medical professionals, improve the imaging capabilities of WCE resulting in improved diagnosis, and tools and knowledge to train a new generation of medical professionals and researchers.
