For Immediate Release – Schenectady, New York May 01, 2023 – EndoSoft® is excited to introduce the revolutionary Artificial Intelligence software, Argus, at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) and the Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (SGNA) May 7th-9th. Argus is an AI-driven platform that streamlines the physicians’ workflow and helps to improve patient outcomes by assisting to detect and size polyps with greater accuracy and efficiency. EndoSoft is introducing its latest advancement, Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLP allows Argus to see, hear, and document what physicians see and say during a procedure in real-time.

Using computer-aided polyp detection (CADe), computer-aided polyp sizing (CAPs), and Machine Learning (ML), Argus uses the feed from the video processor to assist with identifying polyps during colonoscopy procedures. EndoSoft has received a US Patent on its Polyp Detection and Sizing modules. Physicians use Argus to automatically determine the size of a lesion in vivo and capture the images so they can be included in the procedure report if desired.

Being demonstrated for the first time at DDW, EndoSoft is debuting Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLP is for documenting procedures in real-time using voice-activated functions, to label images, document the procedure report, and automatically record quality metrics. Argus continues to streamline the documentation process by using AI-Based Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to document the tissue submitted and print the pathology jar labels. All of this is done during the procedure in real-time.

Argus is a vendor-neutral software that can be integrated with your existing EHR and hardware. This integration allows the use of Argus AI software anywhere within your network.

Making a noticeable impact in gastroenterology, Argus is improving physicians’ workflow and reducing the time it takes to generate report documentation. With its advanced algorithms and machine learning, Argus has significantly improved the accuracy of polyp detection in real-time while adding the benefit of in vivo sizing of lesions. AI-Driven Intelligent Report Writing, Argus NLP, allows physicians to screen, treat, and diagnose patients quickly and accurately, giving valuable time back into a physician’s day.

*Argus is clinical decision support software that functions within an EMR and is not intended for use as a medical device. It does not make a diagnosis, identify suspected adenomas, or direct treatment decisions, but it does organize information for the clinicians relating to polyps. It is not intended to substitute for the advice of a clinician. The clinician should always use proper judgment in patient care and should disregard Argus’s recommendations where clinically appropriate.

About EndoVault®

EndoVault® is the most advanced Electronic Health Record on the market today, boasting the most complete Inpatient and Outpatient multi-specialty Health IT Certified EHR by the Office of National Coordination. EndoVault® is National Endoscopy Database (NED) NEDi2 GIQuiC, and National Bowel Cancer Screening Program compliant.

About Argus®

As pioneering gastrointestinal (GI) artificial intelligence (AI) software, Argus® clinical decision support software not only detects polyps at a much higher rate (up to 19% ADR in a recent trial) than without using AI. Argus® also quickly and easily sizes polyps enabling gastroenterologists to measure polyps more precisely. With this patented polyp detection and sizing, Argus leads the next generation of AI for GI software systems. By incorporating the latest improvements in AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP), Argus® pushes the outer limits of AI technology for GI.

Argus® integrates with all Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, endoscopes, and video processors. Argus® aids in the detection and sizing of polyps within the GI tract using Computer Aided Detection (CADe) and Computer Aided Polyp Sizing CAPs®. Argus® assists clinicians with the detection of polyps and other luminal abnormalities. Argus® utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and deep machine learning all while capturing images simultaneously, in real-time.
