April 10, 2024Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) announced that it will launchThe Latest Generation Software ColonPRO™, used forGI Genius™ Intelligent Endoscopy SystemSystem, enhance patient care outcomes.
At the same time, Medtronic also announced, in collaboration with a pioneer in healthcare electronic technology,Modernizing Medicine®(hereinafter referred to as ModMed)Collaboration, under ModMed'sgGastro® EHR SoftwareIt is a supplement to the GI Genius™ system, providing powerful documentation solutions.# About GI GeniusIntelligent Endoscope SystemGI Genius is an intelligent endoscopy system and also the first commercially available computer-aided detection (CADe) system.It is an AI-driven computer-aided polyp detection system, and reportedly, this product is available on the market.The First to Use AI Technology to Help Clinicians Detect in Real TimeDevices for Colon Lesions of Different Shapes, Sizes, and Forms。GI Genius System Practical Operation Demonstration
Intelligent Identification:During system operation, if suspicious lesions are detected, they will be marked with a green box on the display, accompanied by a short audible alert to draw the doctor's attention.Comparison without GI Genius (left) and with GI Genius (right)Strong compatibility:Integrated with the endoscope processors of mainstream brands on the market,It can be used by simply connecting to existing endoscopes, video processors, and monitors without altering the colonoscopy workflow.High Accuracy:Can identify and flag abnormalities consistent with polyps, includingSmall plaques that may be undetectable by the human eyePolyps.Database Support:GI Genius's training relies onIt is the colonoscopy image library established by Cosmo Intelligent Medical Devices (a device development company that has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Medtronic), which contains data from 20 centers.13 Million Polyp Images, Detection Sensitivity Reaches 99.7%, False Positive Rate Below 1%。
Research shows,Compared with standard care (i.e., high-definition white light colonoscopy), the use of the GI Genius™ system can improve ADR (adenoma detection rate) and reduce AMR (adenoma miss rate).Using this system increases the likelihood of detecting multiple polyps by 50%, the probability of finding distal colon polyps by 53%, and the chance of identifying proximal colon polyps by 28%.For every 1% increase in ADR, the risk of colorectal cancer decreases by 3%.For flat lesions and polypoid lesions, the use of the GI Genius module has proven to increase ADR by an absolute 14% compared to colonoscopy alone, improving accuracy and reducing the risk of interval cancers that may occur between colonoscopies.
The FDA granted de novo clearance for the GI Genius system in April 2021. The system also received CE certification in Europe and is commercially available in parts of Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.Based on the current global data since the introduction of this system, the GI Genius™ has the potential to2.7 millionPatients are affected.Currently, Medtronic has deepened its partnership with Cosmo Intelligent Medical Devices in an effort to expand the AI Access™ artificial intelligence platform integrated into the system.
