“GI Genius is a breakthrough in colorectal cancer screening. In real-time, it can help physicians identify hard-to-detect and potentially cancerous polyps,” Brian MacLaughlin, MD, a surgeon at the hospital, said in a news release. “Decreasing the miss rate of potentially cancerous polyps will undoubtedly save even more lives.”

In February, gastroenterology leaders told Becker’s that AI has the potential to change colonoscopies. However, they warned that the technology is still in its early stages.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
