Revolution in cancer prevention: AI technology in the Weilheim hospital saves lives. During preventative colonoscopies, an AI looks over the examiner's shoulder on a second screen.
This is trained to detect polyps and mark them in real time on the examination screens. The doctor then decides whether it is really a precancerous condition or it is just a false positive. The device costs around 32,000 euros - an investment that would have been difficult for the financially struggling hospital. The Otto Hellmeier Foundation from Raisting donated the sum.
