To detect gastrointestinal cancer: First ever CAD EYE AI system in Pune installed at Ruby Clinic

Stomach cancer incidence has steadily risen in the past decade, with India exhibiting a comparatively higher rate than many Western countries. Consequently, early detection becomes a crucial tool in combating these life-threatening diseases, and with the help of CAD EYE AI, the burden of GI cancer in India can be reduced to a greater extent, Dr Pai told media persons on Tuesday. Dr Pai also pointed out that this was a huge milestone to install the first-ever Artificial Intelligence system CAD EYE in Pune.

The CAD EYE system introduced in Pune employs advanced AI algorithms and real-world data to assist in the identification and characterization of suspected lesions during colonoscopies. Additionally, it excels in detecting early gastric flat lesions in gastrointestinal endoscopy, addressing a critical need in a region burdened by increased occurrence rates of esophageal, stomach, liver, and colorectal cancers. By boosting diagnostic accuracy and improving adenoma detection rates, CAD EYE enables timely intervention and increases the chances of successful treatment.

Dr. Purvez Grant, Chairman and Managing Trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic said this cutting-edge technology provides renewed hope in the fight against GI cancers. Behram Khodaiji, Group CEO of Ruby Hall Clinic, added “The potential of AI-enabled endoscopy in preventing serious and life-threatening conditions like stomach and colon cancer by screening for them at the precancerous stage is a crucial juncture in Pune.”
