What You Should Know:
– Intelligent Scopes Corp, a subsidiary of Claritas HealthTech Ltd., and Mayo Clinic have joined forces to develop cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment.
– The goal of strategic collaboration aims to leverage the combined expertise of both organizations to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
Why Early Detection is Critical for Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is a significant burden, not only for patients but also for healthcare systems. Early detection is crucial for improving prognosis and reducing costs associated with ongoing surveillance and re-examinations. However, traditional cystoscopy diagnostics can be challenging and time-consuming.
AI-Powered Tools for Bladder Cancer
The Intelligent Scopes-Mayo Clinic partnership aims to revolutionize bladder cancer care by developing AI-powered tools that:
Improve detection accuracy: AI can analyze cystoscopy images with greater precision than human eyes, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.Minimize unnecessary interventions: By identifying suspicious lesions with greater accuracy, AI can help urologists avoid unnecessary biopsies and procedures, reducing patient discomfort and healthcare costs.Enhance surgical precision: AI-powered visualization tools can assist surgeons during bladder cancer removal procedures, leading to more precise and effective surgery.Streamline post-treatment surveillance: AI can analyze follow-up cystoscopy images to detect recurrence early, allowing for prompt intervention and improved patient outcomes.“We are excited to work with clinicians at Mayo Clinic and look forward to collaborating on developing innovations to redefine bladder cancer diagnostics that improve the patient journey.” Dr. Nair added, “This collaboration will enable us to leverage on the existing capabilities of both teams with promise to develop the next generation of enhanced and clinically tuned future versions of AI-driven tools for patients and clinicians,” said Dr Rajesh Nair, incoming CEO of Intelligent Scopes.
