AI assistance for inflammatory lesion review.
IBD Smart® supports post-procedural review of small bowel capsule endoscopy examinations in suspected or established Crohn’s disease.
It detects ulcers and erosions and brings relevant frames into focus for physician validation.

The clinical challenge
Subtle inflammation can be distributed across thousands of frames.
Ulcers and erosions are central to assessing small bowel Crohn’s disease, yet manual capsule review is lengthy and its interpretation can vary.
“A faster pathway matters when it also strengthens confidence that relevant inflammatory findings were seen.”
02
How it works
