The Caddie, a computer-aided detection device, helps physicians improve the detection of the early signs of colorectal cancer using AI software that can be remotely updated, according to a Sept. 5 press release. 

In a trial across eight medical centers in Europe, Caddie successfully demonstrated its efficacy and safety. 

The device analyzes colonoscopy video in real-time and uses visual markers to alert the endoscopist to the potential presence of polyps. 

The endoscopist then has to review Caddie’s suspected polyp areas and confirm the presence or absence of a polyp based on medical judgment.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
