Aims Video capsule Endoscopy involves patients swallowing a battery-powered capsule containing a small miniature camera to capture images of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Unlike traditional GI investigations, this procedure allows patients to maintain their daily routines while the capsule is in transit, offering comfort, reduced embarrassment, and a non-invasive nature of GI examination. During the Covid-19 pandemic, an "At-home Capsule Endoscopy" (ACE) was developed by University College London Hospital, allowing patients to complete the test remotely with virtual medical support. This study evaluates patient perceptions and satisfaction with ACE.
