ModMed & Medtronic collaborate to drive colonoscopies using AI

Practice technology leader and EHR pioneer in the US, ModMed has announced a collaboration with Medtronic to enhance the documentation of polyp detection by utilising artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities of the GI Genius system sold by Medtronic.

The collaborative approach aims to place doctors and patients at the center of care through an intelligent, specialty-specific cloud platform. The goal will be to ensure that physicians have more time to focus on patients by building efficiency in the documentation process. Providing integration with GI Genius will enable us to achieve this goal.

The GI Genius system enables AI-assisted colonoscopies, which have been shown to achieve a 50% reduction in missed colorectal polyps over a standard colonoscopy. The companies intend to interface data from GI Genius into ModMed’s gGastro platform with the expectation of reducing manual effort in documenting procedural metrics captured during the colonoscopy process.
