NCH is raising the bar for colorectal cancer prevention with Artificial intelligence powered care.

At NCH, advanced artificial intelligence is now enhancing colonoscopy procedures—giving physicians an added layer of precision in detecting polyps and other abnormalities before they turn deadly.

Using the GI Genius™ AI system, NCH gastroenterologists receive real-time support during colonoscopies, as the technology analyzes each video frame and flags subtle areas of concern that may be easy to miss with the human eye alone. The result? Nearly a 14% increase in polyp detection rates, a meaningful leap forward in early cancer prevention.

“As gastroenterologists, we’re looking for everything from small polyps to cancer,” said Dr. Kunal Suryawala. “The AI works seamlessly in the background, acting as an extra set of eyes during the procedure.”

This innovation reinforces NCH’s commitment to:

  • Early detection and prevention
  • Smarter, technology-driven care
  • Better outcomes through precision medicine

With colorectal cancer screening recommended starting at age 45—and earlier for high-risk patients—NCH continues to lead the way by combining clinical expertise with cutting-edge AI to protect lives.
