Problem
During gastroscopy and colonoscopy procedures, accurately locating tumors that cannot be immediately removed can be challenging, hindering effective laparoscopic surgery. Current methods may lack the precision needed for surgeons to effectively target these tumors.
Solution
CAIMI is developing AI-powered medical devices that improve tumor localization during gastroscopy and colonoscopy. The system utilizes magnetic tumor marker clips, which are attached to the tumor during the initial endoscopic procedure. After the initial procedure, an AI-driven detector uses the magnetic markers to precisely identify and localize the tumor's location. This technology aims to provide surgeons with accurate, real-time guidance for subsequent laparoscopic removal, even for tumors that are difficult to locate through traditional methods.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes surgeons and gastroenterologists performing gastroscopy and colonoscopy procedures who require enhanced tumor localization techniques.
Features
- Magnetic tumor marker clips for attachment to suspicious lesions during endoscopy
- AI-powered detection system for precise tumor localization using magnetic markers
- Real-time guidance during laparoscopic surgery based on AI analysis
- Compatibility with standard gastroscopy and colonoscopy equipment
