The AGA has outlined the prospects for artificial intelligence in the future of gastroenterology. Sushovan Guha, MD, PhD, from the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix discusses the subject here.
We see big promise in this arena. Love to have you sit in on a tech-path discussion some day.
