The American Society for Gastroenterology and Endoscopy has launched an artificial intelligence institute for gastroenterology.
The institute aims to enhance patient care outcomes and drive innovation in gastroenterology, according to a May 20 press release.
The institute is built on five pillars, including education, training and curriculum development, advocacy, standards, quality and safety, optimizing practice operations and acting as a convener for healthcare professionals.
It highlights ASGE's focus on artificial intelligence as a component of modern medicine. In a survey of ASGE members, AI emerged as the top area where members wanted additional education and resources.
The institute will be supported by GI-focused technology companies and founding partners Medtronic, Olympus, Fujifilm and Castle Biosciences.
