Tampa, Florida, USA --- November 21, 2024:
AdventHealth West Florida hospitals are at the forefront of medical innovation, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance colonoscopy procedures and improve early cancer detection. By incorporating Medtronic's GI Genius intelligent endoscopy module, these hospitals are setting a new standard in colorectal cancer screening.
The GI Genius system employs advanced AI algorithms to analyze real-time video feeds from the colonoscope. This intelligent system can identify subtle polyps and other abnormalities that may be missed by the human eye, significantly reducing the risk of missed cancers.
By acting as a second set of eyes for clinicians, the AI technology can increase the adenoma detection rate (ADR), a crucial metric for measuring the effectiveness of colonoscopy. A higher ADR translates to a lower risk of developing colorectal cancer.
Early detection of colorectal cancer is paramount to successful treatment. With AI-powered colonoscopy, healthcare providers can identify precancerous polyps and remove them during the procedure, potentially preventing the development of cancer.
For patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer, early detection offers a significantly higher chance of survival. A five-year survival rate of over 90% is achievable when the disease is caught in its early stages.
AdventHealth West Florida hospitals are dedicated to providing the highest quality care to their patients. By adopting innovative technologies like GI Genius, they are demonstrating their commitment to improving patient outcomes.
The AdventHealth Digestive Health Institute offers a comprehensive range of services for digestive health, including advanced diagnostic procedures and minimally invasive treatments. With a team of experienced specialists and cutting-edge technology, the institute is well-equipped to address the complex needs of patients with digestive disorders.
As AI continues to advance, its potential to revolutionize healthcare is immense. By embracing this technology, AdventHealth West Florida hospitals are leading the way in the fight against colorectal cancer and ensuring a healthier future for their patients.
