Abstract : Capsule endoscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic tool that allows direct visualization of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract using a swallowable, camera-equipped capsule [1]. It has revolutionized the evaluation of small bowel diseases such as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, and small bowel tumors [4]. With the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the diagnostic process has become faster, more accurate, and less dependent on manual image review. Nurses play a vital role in patient preparation, procedure monitoring, and post-procedure data management. Their training and active participation ensure patient safety, comfort, and efficiency throughout the process. This paper discusses the principles of capsule endoscopy, the integration of AI in diagnostic interpretation, and the evolving responsibilities and competencies required for nurses in this advanced clinical setting.
