Going forward we thought it might be helpful to share some insights on how certain themes are present in our portfolio. This week I’m sharing an example of how the theme of Artificial Intelligence is present in our portfolio with Medtronic.
A year ago the company launched GI Genius, the first system worldwide to use Artificial Intelligence to detect colorectal polyps. It provides physicians with a powerful new solution in the fight against colorectal cancer.
The GI Genius module uses advanced artificial intelligence to highlight the presence of pre-cancerous lesions with a visual marker in real-time – serving as a second observer. Studies have shown that having a second observer can increase polyp detection rates. Medtronic also includes AI in its Diabetes solutions with Sugar.IQ (a partnership with IBM). The company’s Minimed insulin pump comes with the Guarduan 3 sensor, which uses AI to help diabetes patients beat high and low blood glucose related events.
