GI Genius’ latest iteration, rolled out by Cosmo, includes the FDA-cleared ColonPRO software. This AI application helps identify potential polyps and standardize quality metric reporting during colorectal cancer screenings.
GI Genius, a computer-aided polyp detection system powered by AI, has been available in the U.S. since 2021. It was designed to redefine GI screening by assisting gastroenterologists in performing colonoscopies.
Cosmo said in a news release that the system’s enhanced AI capabilities accelerate the system toward new features. The module can host multiple AI apps, broadening its utility, through a developer program led by Cosmo with Medtronic’s commercial expertise.
