Clinical, Economic and Ethical Considerations for Integrating AI Software into Routine Colonoscopy

Abstract

Idan Levy*

The Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel was one of the first public hospitals in the world to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) into every one of their colonoscopy suites. It invested in seven GI Genius™ Intelligent Endoscopy Modules in order to make the performing of AI colonoscopies routine in the department. This article explains the clinical rationale that drove this decision as well as the ethical considerations which had to be taken into account.
