What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a new AI-assisted Mobile Capsule Gastroscopy MCG system designed to detect various gastric diseases, including gastric cancer and precancerous lesions, in elderly and high-risk individuals. Gastric diseases pose a significant health challenge worldwide, especially in China, where gastric cancer has high incidence and mortality rates. Early detection through screening is crucial, as prompt treatment can greatly improve survival rates. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and practicality of MCG in community health centers for these populations. The MCG system includes a disposable capsule and a wireless portable receiver, allowing participants to complete the examination independently by following video instructions on a smartphone app and adjusting their body position to guide the capsule. An AI algorithm monitors gastric coverage in real time, and the video is accessible on the smartphone and can be uploaded for remote diagnosis. This non-invasive and user-friendly system does not require expensive magnetic navigation, making it suitable for widespread use in community settings. The study is part of a public health screening program targeting 10,000 elderly and high-risk residents. Participants will provide demographic and medical history data, undergo laboratory tests and MCG examination, and may receive esophagogastroduodenoscopy EGD and biopsies if needed. Short-term follow-up will monitor capsule excretion and any adverse events up to 14 days after MCG, while long-term follow-up will continue annually for five years to track gastric disease incidence and survival. Researchers will evaluate detection rates, safety, examination quality, patient satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness of the MCG system to inform future gastric disease prevention strategies.
