ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course: Clinical Challenges and Real-Time Decision Making in GI Endoscopy (Live and Virtual) | May 2023-Current applications of AI in Gastroenterology

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in gastroenterology, particularly in endoscopy. The speaker highlights the increasing expenditure on digital health in the US healthcare system and emphasizes the need to focus not only on clinical applications but also on administrative aspects of healthcare. The applications of AI in gastroenterology include computer-aided detection (CAD-E) and computer-aided diagnosis (CAD-X), which can assist in identifying adenomas and differentiating between various types of polyps. The speaker mentions the approval of the first AI device for colonoscopy screening in the US. Other applications of AI in gastroenterology include quality assessment in endoscopy, such as automated recognition of landmarks and assessment of bowel prep. The speaker also discusses the use of natural language processing (NLP) for data extraction and reports a study showing that NLP can perform as well as manual data collection but in a much shorter timeframe. Additionally, the speaker mentions AI-assigned colonoscopy surveillance intervals and the potential use of AI in patient education, clinical documentation, and trainee education. The video concludes by emphasizing the need for collaboration between physicians, societies, software developers, and data scientists to build an AI ecosystem in gastroenterology and endoscopy.
