This animation demonstrates the passage of a wireless video capsule endoscope from top to tail.
There are now minimally invasive tests that dig deeper into peristalsis and the brain-gut axis and breath testing can also be used to look for Helicobacter pylori, lactose intolerance and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). This short video uses high quality animations that describe the anatomy of the 26 feet long digestive tract and summarises three minimally invasive ("high tech") diagnostic steps that can distinguish the possible origins of abnormal gut feelings.
The delivery of healthcare is built on the backbone of 20th century clinical practice. Over the past 2 decades, social, economic, demographic change, and scientific discovery, has dramatically accelerated, leaving behind a clinical service no longer fit for service. The time is ripe for turbocharging healthcare, This 14 minute video imagines 8 ways to rapidly switch from analogue to digital, placing the patient experience at its epicentre and opening Pandora's box of digital opportunities. Perhaps this might nudge you to imagine and trbocharge.

Produced by Professor Owen Epstein, Professor of Gastroenterology at the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust, A teaching video reflecting on the patient's experience of endoscopy. Produced for teaching medical students, docotors, gastroenterologists, nurses, nurse endoscopists and patients.
This videoscribe explains how the vagus nerve regulates the fight and flight response and how measurement of heart rate variability provides a moment to moment window on the state of vagus influence on the "unconscious" autonomic nervous system. This, in turn, provides measurable physiological insights to "inner balance" and "wellness". Loss of normal heart rate variability is an early warning sign of both psychological and physical ill health. Continuous 72 hour heart rate variability can be measured using a lightweight wearable device (Bodyguard 2) providing individuals with physiological information on vagus tone, stress (good and bad) and, perhaps most important, recovery and restoration. The videoscribe explains the importance of the vagus in modulating emotional and physical well being. This neurophysiology has only recently been described by Professor Stephen Porges in his work "The Polyvagal Theory" and although not yet taught to healthcare professionals, measuring and monitoring the vagus nerve is likely to become increasingly important to the understanding health, wellbeing and the factors contributing to ill health.
This videoscribe is an introduction to the clinical presentation of dyspepsia. The story is a reminder that sensory-motor disorders are far more common than erosive or ulcerating gastric or duodenal disease.
A quick introduction to the clinical problem of bloating and distension. First part of three "Five Minute Consults" on the topic.

What exactly is a capsule endoscopy procedure, how is it performed, and what exactly does it diagnose and detect? Here to answer all of these questions and more is highly revered and experienced London-based minimally invasive gastroenterologist, Professor Owen Epstein.

Capsule endoscopy is a minimally invasive method for imaging the gastrointestinal tract. Capsules have been developed to visualises the mucosa of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. This videoscribe explains how capsule endoscopy represents a breakthrough innovation by squeezing the imaging functionality of conventional fibre-optic endoscopy into a pill sized cordless device and how capsule endoscopy works in harmony with the fiber-optic video endoscope. The video draws attention to the widespread adoption of "cable cutting" in the wireless era and how capsule endoscopy cuts the endoscopic umbilical cord.
This video describes our survival software. All life forms are driven to seek a place of safety as without this,many life affirming activities would be difficult,if not impossible. Eating, sleeping, communing with others, establishing relationships, romancing, child rearing and creativity cannot thrive under threat. Our external "antennae" provide exteroception, our sense organs providing a stream of information from the external environment. Interoception is conveyed from our internal organs, informing of physiological well-being and this is conveyed by the vagus nerve. Only around 1% of incoming information informs our consciousness, the remainder operating below our state of awareness. Much of this information flow calibrates our state of calm and well-being with the need the fight or flee from danger. The response to danger or perceived threat must be lightning fast and is reflex rather than cognitive. The video describes how dependent we are on seeking safety and this is apparent early on in life and present in all life forms. The survival software is hard wired and baked in from birth and can be observed early on in life, and is present to some degree in the absence of teaching or life experiences. The video touches on the work of Stephen Porges and his polyvagal theory that provides a platform for understanding behavior and maladjustments. The video is built around a patient presenting with an unexplained medical disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract and explores the polyvagal theory as a possible cause of the symptoms. The presentation places the vagus nerve at the forefront of our surveillance software and the constant quest for inner balance.The autonomic nervous system integrates afferent and efferent signals and imbalance of sympathetic and parasympathetic tone may result in chronic physical and or psychological ill-health. The search for safety and its physiological implications needs to be considered when there is little or no evidence of a hardware cause to account for ill-health. The message conveyed should be of particular interest to healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, psychotherapists, alternative practitioners and patients.
"The vagus nerve is a very important part of our sense of well-being. It's not really part of the medical world in which we clinicians live nor you as a patient perhaps live in, because so much of our work is focused around hardware. However, the vagus nerve is becoming a very important part of understanding those individuals who don't necessarily have hardware problems but feel unwell." In this fascinating online interview, the renowned professor of gastroenterology and minimally invasive gastroenterologist, Professor Owen Epstein, brilliantly explains the role of the vagus nerve in the human body. In a comprehensive way, the London-based professor details the significance of the vagus nerve, how it can impact the "hardware" or organs of the body, and how issues with the vagus nerve are investigated and treated. 0:00 Introduction 0:17 What exactly is the vagus nerve?
