ASGE Endoscopy Course at ACG: Everyday Endoscopy: Expertise Meets Evidence | October 2024-Session 1: The Future is Now: Advances in Endoscope Technology

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a comprehensive postgraduate course on gastrointestinal endoscopy hosted by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. Led by Dr. Michelle Anderson, Dr. Nalini Gupta, and Dr. Irving Waxman, the course is titled "Everyday Endoscopy: Expertise Meets Evidence." The objective is to explore advances in endoscopic technologies and their clinical applications. <br /><br />Key presentations include Dr. Amandeep Shergil's examination of endoscopic technology advancements such as improved imaging, chromoendoscopy, and ergonomic enhancements. These innovations aim to optimize procedure efficiency and practitioner health. Dr. Sravanti Parasay discusses the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in inflammatory bowel disease, particularly in predictive diagnostics and treatment response monitoring. Dr. Shyam Varadarajan highlights AI applications in pancreaticobiliary diseases and Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), noting its potential for lesion detection and quality enhancement, though its integration remains distant. <br /><br />Dr. Prateek Sharma's keynote explores AI's transformative role throughout the endoscopy process—from scheduling to quality improvement and automated documentation. He emphasizes AI's potential to improve detection rates, automate bowel prep assessments, and streamline post-procedure tasks, despite implementation challenges.<br /><br />Discussions address the need for AI standardization and regulatory processes before widespread clinical adoption. They also acknowledge potential environmental impacts due to AI's energy consumption. Lastly, the session identifies the need for updated guidelines to incorporate AI advancements for enhanced clinical practice outcomes.
