NVIDIA and Medtronic are building an AI-enhanced endoscopy tool

NVIDIA is deepening its efforts to fight cancer using AI. The GPU maker is teaming with Medtronic to build AI into the GI Genius endoscopy tool (shown below). The two will use NVIDIA's IGX hardware and Holoscan medical platform to help detect the polyps that can lead to colorectal cancer. Doctors will get "AI-enhanced" diagnostic images, the companies say. The first GI Genius systems built with NVIDIA tech are expected to arrive later this year.
