Dispatch from the Digital Health Frontier: Gastroenterology Embraces Artificial Intelligence

AI and machine learning can potentially improve the management and diagnosis of GI disorders and colorectal cancer, which is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. Deep learning algorithms can differentiate diseases that look similar at the cellular level with an accuracy rating of 93.4%. Several clinical trials have also proven the efficacy of machine learning in gastroenterology, particularly in the detection of precancerous colorectal polyps.
