Docbot Rolls Out Integrated AI Tool for Colonoscopy Assistance, Documentation

Image has been cropped for size. Docbot doesn't exactly make the sci-fi physician-replacement robots that its name may imply, but it is making strides towards building more advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools for the clinical setting. The California startup today unveiled an AI workflow suite for colonoscopies--and it believes it can develop a validated, commercially available version in the next few months. Put simply, Qualoscopy--as the system is called--is part diagnostic support tool, part automated scribe. It applies AI to polyp detection but also integrates in electronic health records (EHR) systems to auto-document procedures and associated quality measures.
