First Cloud-Based AI Endoscopy System for Colonoscopy Receives FDA Clearance (Olympus)

Odin Medical, a subsidiary of Olympus, received FDA clearance for its CADDIE™ device, the first cloud-based AI tool for detecting colorectal polyps during colonoscopies. The system enhances early cancer detection by using AI to analyze real-time video and provide visual alerts to doctors, who confirm the presence of polyps. A European clinical trial showed improved adenoma detection without increased risks. This innovation aligns with Olympus’ goal to combat rising colorectal cancer rates through advanced, cloud-connected AI technology.
