Researchers Robert Kerrison and Gerard Cummins talk to Sam about Samplecam, an innovative new type of capsule endoscopy currently in the works. They explain their research on Samplecam, which is a video capsule endoscopy that will also be capable of taking samples of the bowel as it travels through it. They discuss what a video capsule endoscopy normally does, how this technology will be different, and the potential impact on the patient. The episode also includes recordings from other members of this research team explaining how the technology could be used in primary care settings and why people with Lynch syndrome are being focused on at first. Rob also explains how patients have had their say in the direction of this research.
