High-throughput considerations and where each technology fits

User acceptability Operator expertise Data analysis expertise Suitability for high-throughput Level of evidence to date Cost-effectiveness
Standard endoscopy Low High High (image + pathology) No Standard of care for diagnosis-not widely implemented for screening No
TLE Moderate High High (image + pathology) No No RCT evidence in primary care Modeling studies-promising
Capsule imaging Moderate High High (image) unless automated Medium Preliminary in enriched population Unknown
Cell collection device + biomarker Moderate to high Moderate High (biomarker but binary and suitable for automation) Yes RCT in primary care ongoing (BEST3) Promising
Blood-based biomarker High Low Likely high depending on assay and algorithm automation Yes No RCT evidence in primary care Unknown—likely cost-effective
Breath volatiles High Low Likely high depending on assay and algorithm automation Yes Preliminary Unknown—likely cost-effective
