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 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.
