Medtronic Sponsored Lunch Symposium: AI is Now: Lessons to Using the GI Genius™ System

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses their experience with GI genius, an artificial intelligence system used in endoscopy units. They explain that the system is sensitive and fast, detecting polyps with close to 100% sensitivity and being 82% faster than endoscopists. They highlight the rationale for implementing AI in their unit, including the complexity of patient care, reliance on visual data, and the need to improve colorectal cancer prevention and detection. They mention the disparities in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality rates, particularly among minority populations, and emphasize the importance of AI in improving outcomes for these patients. The speaker presents several case studies showcasing the effectiveness of GI genius in detecting and tracking polyps. They also address misconceptions about AI, stressing that it is a tool to augment clinical judgment and complement healthcare delivery, rather than a replacement for physicians. They discuss the ease of implementing and understanding the GI genius system and emphasize the importance of AI education for providers and patients.
