Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the U.S., but increases in non-invasive screenings and advancements in screening technology are improving early detection. OSF Innovation worked with OSF gastroenterologist Omar Khokhar, MD, to pilot and implement GI Genius, an FDA-approved AI-powered tool that enhances physicians’ ability to detect polyps during colonoscopies, bringing cutting-edge care and detection to patients. Join us as we explore how GI Genius provides an added layer of support for physicians, improving accuracy in polyp detection. With colorectal cancer rates rising in younger adults, this innovative technology is changing the landscape of early detection. We’ll chat with Dr. Khokhar to discuss how AI enhances colonoscopy precision and why this advancement is so important in the fight against colorectal cancer.
