1. A system for a capsule endoscopy procedure, comprising:
a capsule device configured to capture in-vivo images over time of at least a portion of a gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of a person;
a wearable device configured to be secured to the person, the wearable device configured to receive at least some of the in-vivo images from the capsule device, to store the received images, and to communicate at least some of the received images to a communication device at a same location as the wearable device; and
a storage medium storing machine-executable instructions configured to execute on a computing system remote from the location of the wearable device, the instructions, when executed, cause the computing system to:
receive communicated images from the communication device during the capsule endoscopy procedure,
during the capsule endoscopy procedure, perform online processing of the communicated images received from the communication device, and
communicate, during the capsule endoscopy procedure, a result of the online processing with at least one healthcare provider device.
