The artificial intelligence device helps detect polyps during colonoscopies. It’s compatible with any colonoscopy video and uses advanced AI to recognize the presence of precancerous lesions with a visual marker in real time.

A recent study found that GI Genius was able to identify precancerous or cancerous tumors at a 13 percent higher rate than a standard colonoscopy, according to WFTS Tampa.

The FDA granted de novo clearance for the device in April.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
