according toSingaporeThe Lianhe Zaobao reported that the National University Hospital of Singapore recently started construction of a digestive health center, which will be completed in the first half of 2025.Integrates a series of AI Technology, which aims to focus on improving the standards for early disease detection, accurate diagnosis, treatment and prevention of digestive system diseases.

The new center will be equipped with a triple AI system for computer-aided testing, diagnosis and quality control; when these three systems are used in conjunction, it is said thatIt can not only more effectively identify early gastrointestinal lesions, but also perform real-time quantifiable scoring of cancer diagnosis for these lesions..
Visiting Associate Professor Li Guanhui, Director and Senior Consultant of the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the National University Hospital of Singapore, pointed out that judging from the trend in recent years, the number of people suffering from digestive system diseases has increased year by year, and people over 50 years old should undergo regular screening to prevent cancers related to the digestive system. The introduction of an efficient AI detection system will help more people monitor their health.
Li Guanhui believes: "Early gastrointestinal lesions may be a sign of cancer. Early detection can not only save a lot of money, but also directly affect the intensity and effect of the patient's treatment. The relevant AI system can also detect suspected "cancer" more accurately, and then the patient can undergo minimally invasive surgery to remove it, avoiding the pain of surgery and chemotherapy."
In addition, the National University Hospital of Singapore recently launched Southeast Asia's first three-dimensional (3D) imaging Artis Q system, which is based on X-rays and can enhance surgeons' ability to determine the location of diseased tissue and identify potential medical problems that may not be visible with traditional two-dimensional (2D) imaging.
