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 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.
