GI Genius™ intelligent endoscopy module

Computer-aided detection. Analysis. Prediction.

The GI Genius™ intelligent endoscopy module offers a transformative solution — powered by AI — to address the challenges of detecting potential signs of colorectal cancer, early.1

Artificial Intelligence.
Real advantage.

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths in Europe.2

With GI Genius™ on your endoscopy team, you will be able to detect more life-threatening cancerous lesions. This market-leading endoscopy AI technology has been shown to increase endoscopists’ adenoma detection rates (ADRs) by up to 14%.1

So it’s a proven partner in helping you to protect patients more effectively from colorectal cancer (CRC).1,3

Why GI Genius™?

We’re transforming healthcare with the first commercially available computer-aided detection (CADe) device.

  • Automatic detection in real-time
  • Detects colorectal polyps of all shapes and sizes9
  • Compatible with all major brands of endoscopic equipment22
  • Seamlessly integrates with existing workflow22

Deliver better outcomes

The GI Genius™ intelligent endoscopy module enhances your ability to detect colorectal polyps of all shapes and sizes.22

Real evidence

Real integration

GI Genius™ works how you work, integrating easily into your current department set up.9

It dovetails with your procedural workflow, without the need for any changes.9

Simply add the GI Genius™ intelligent endoscopy module to your existing endoscopy tower - it has demonstrated full compatibility with all major brands of endoscopy equipment.9

Real usability

  • GI Genius™ engages automatically when a polyp is framed consistently, then actively follows the lesion around the image frame10
  • When you inspect the lesion, GI Genius™ automatically transitions to optical diagnosis, to enable characterisation10
  • Optical diagnosis is carried out in the same white light setting as polyp detection10
  • GI Genius™ does not extend procedure time1

Reviews and recognition

Real expertise

Leading gastroenterologists talk about their work with GI Genius™.
Medtronic Partnering with NHS to advance evidence on Artificial Intelligence in colonoscopy

"We are immensely proud to have won the NHS AI award. It will allow us to work in partnership with King’s College Hospital (KCH) and the NHS to assess GI Genius™ intelligent endoscopy module in real-world conditions, in busy GI departments across the country. Bowel cancer kills more people in the UK than almost any other cancer and this trial will further our mission to detect early and improve patient outcomes."

- Darin Wilson, Business Unit Leader Western Europe, Medtronic

ESGE Medtronic AI research award

We are proud to announce, in partnership with the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the first Artificial Intelligence Research Award valued at €1.5 Million, to help the detection of colorectal cancer.

The ESGE Medtronic Research Award supports Artificial Intelligence (AI) research in the field of colonoscopy.

GI Genius™ in action

Team performance

  • GI Genius™ helps standardise performance across your team by reducing variation in physician performance1
  • It has the potential to reach in every colonoscopy the same level of accuracy that can be met only by a few very experienced physicians10

Polyp characterisation

  • In a recent study, GI Genius™ CADx in standard white-light endoscopy showed a 97.6% negative predictive value7 
  • This greatly exceeds the requirements for Leave-in-Situ strategies7
  • GI Genius™ supports endoscopists to reach high confidence optical diagnosis7

Polyp detection

  • GI Genius™ alerts the endoscopist to difficult-to-detect lesion types, including flat lesions and diminutive polyps
  • This has helped boost ADR detection rates by up to 14%1 and reduce missed lesions by almost 50%5

Working with you to find the hard-to-find

Some potentially adenomatous lesions can be hard to detect, due to variations in their size and morphology. Polyps can often be located at the periphery of the visual field and mixed with potential distractors which are similar in appearance4

But detecting them is worth the effort.  

Each 1% increase in ADR actually decreases the risk of interval cancer by 3%3 – which is reassuring to you and your patients.

The promise of progress

Medtronic Endoscopy is committed to continually enhancing the GI Genius™ intelligent endoscopy module. With this commitment, we are happy to introduce the latest version of GI Genius™ artificial intelligence software.
