Distinguished Experts, Colleagues, and Friends,
The 7th WEO Capsule Endoscopy Global Summit (WEO-CEGS) is set to commence on March 21, 2026. As the Chair of the Congress, it is my great honor to extend our warmest welcome and sincere gratitude to all scholars, clinical experts and practitioners joining us both in person and online.
Looking back on our journey, capsule endoscopy has evolved from a forward-looking concept into an indispensable tool in modern gastrointestinal disease diagnosis. This remarkable progress owes itself to the wisdom and dedication of every explorer, practitioner, and advocate present here. We have witnessed rapid technological advancements: from morphological observation to functional assessment, from passive imaging to active navigation. The deep integration of artificial intelligence and robotics continues to expand our ability to uncover the microscopic mysteries of life. Every precise image interpretation and every breakthrough in clinical challenges embodies the collaboration and ingenuity of colleagues worldwide.
Centered on the theme “The Voice of World Capsule Endoscopy,” we have carefully built this high‑level, multi‑dimensional platform to bring together the most cutting-edge scientific insights, the richest clinical experiences, and the most dynamic innovative ideas from around the globe. We look forward to stimulating in-depth discussions and sparking new ideas on technological evolution, standardization, clinical adoption, and future directions throughout the program.
Digestive health is integral to human well-being, and the mission of capsule endoscopy is to illuminate the “blind spots” of diagnosis and treatment in a more comfortable, accurate, and accessible manner, while protecting patients’ dignity and health. Let us unite in consensus, deepen our collaboration, and jointly advance this great endeavor from technological innovation to broader application and greater real‑world impact.
I wish the 7th WEO‑CEGS a resounding success! May all participants gain fruitful insights and forge lasting friendships!
Thank you!
