A Post Market Trial Assessing the Accuracy of Normal Mode Reading vs. ProScan Reading With the NaviCam SB System. This is a Comparison of Retrospectively Obtained Capsule Endoscopy Videos With a New AI Reading Tool; no New Interventions Will be Completed.

NaviCam ProScan is an artificial intelligent (AI) assisted reading tool designed to aid small bowel capsule endoscopy reviewers in decreasing the time to review capsule endoscopy images for adult patients in whom the capsule endoscopy images were obtained for suspected small bowel bleeding.

Early Videocapsule Endoscopy for Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding

The objective of this study is to determine whether early video capsule endoscopy (VCE) immediately after a negative gastroscopy in the setting of suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) improves patient outcomes as compared to the standard approach which typically involves performing colonoscopy prior to small bowel investigations. We aim to examine the differences in diagnostic yield, total number of procedures, length of hospitalization, mortality rates, and healthcare cost between the two groups.

Urgent Panendoscopy in Patients Presenting With Hematochezia

Gastrointestinal bleeding is a significant emergency condition requiring prompt diagnosis. Current evidence presents a clinical paradox: urgent colonoscopy (within 24 hours) shows no clear benefit in several studies, while urgent video capsule endoscopy (VCE) demonstrates improved detection rates for small bowel bleeding. This study aims to evaluate a novel approach combining urgent colonoscopy followed by same-day VCE for patients with normal colonoscopy findings. This strategy has not been previously assessed and may improve bleeding source detection while reducing patient preparation burden compared to standard sequential testing. Results will be compared against conventional approaches to determine optimal diagnostic timing for patients presenting with hematochezia
