Medtronic Gets Health Canada License for Its GI Genius Endoscopy Module

Medtronic has received a Health Canada license for its GI Genius artificial intelligence (AI)-based endoscopy aid device for the detection of colorectal lesions during colonoscopy.

The system uses AI to identify regions of the colon suspected to have mucosal abnormalities, highlighting the presence of possible precancerous lesions with a visual marker.

The images are assessed using advanced algorithms that can identify and mark polyp abnormalities, including those that could go undetected by the human eye, the company said.
