Key Points:
- Capital Digestive Care, the largest private gastroenterology practice in the Mid-Atlantic region, is launching LGI-Flag in the United States. LGI-Flag is an AI-driven algorithm used to flag individuals at risk for lower GI disorders that warrant further evaluation.
- LGI-Flag is available through the Roche navify Algorithm Suite. The Capital Digestive Care Laboratory, recognized as a Roche Diagnostics Center of Excellence, will use LGI-Flag to screen eligible patients using electronic health record (EHR) and clinical data repositories.
- LGI-Flag uses demographic information and historical CBC (complete blood count) test results to identify individuals with patterns associated with an increased risk for lower GI disorders, including colorectal cancer, IBS, and IBD.
