GI Genius is an AI-assisted colonoscopy device that is used to detect precancerous polyps, and is the first AI colonoscopy device cleared by the FDA. 

Studies have shown that the module decreases the miss-rate of adenomas and polyps by 45.8%, according to the report. 

The hospital is part of West Des Moines, Iowa-based UnityPoint Health.

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.
