Improving Health Equity in Gastroenterology

Multiple healthcare facilities across the United States are in underserved areas, which often require government support and increased patient awareness to promote optimal healthcare solutions. In many cases these facilities do not have funding to acquire new advancements and technologies. The American Society of Gastrointestinal and Endoscopy (ASGE), Medtronic (MDT) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are committed to improving health equity in the field of gastroenterology.

 

AI-Assisted Colonoscopy

Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is critical in the prevention of colon cancer, which is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Our field now has a second observer with AI-assisted colonoscopy, which supports physician decision-making in real-time procedures. 

The GI Genius™ system uses computer-aided detection algorithms to identify polyps of various sizes, shapes, and morphologies.1 A prospective, randomized study showed a 14.4% absolute increase in adenoma detection rate (ADR) using high-definition (HD) colonoscopy with the GI Genius™ module compared to HD colonoscopy alone.2   It does not replace physician decision-making during live colonoscopy and has been reported to increase adenoma detection rate with no significant increase in withdrawal time.2
