With the rapid advancement of technology, our ability to innovatively interweave mathematics, engineering and computer science in medicine portends enormous potential change for our collective future health. A specific area of application lies in digital pathology and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for pattern recognition in tissue based disease diagnoses. Gastroenterology relies on histopathology-based diagnoses using tissue from the gut and liver with a growing interest in diagnostic tools such as Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) and video capsule endoscopy amongst others. However, the deluge of complex images obtained from diagnostic modalities mentioned earlier are heterogeneous requiring a focused approach that produces human-friendly and narrow-detail oriented answers. Our lab with its multi-disciplinary expertise in medicine, engineering and data science is dedicated to revolutionizing the use of AI in gastroenterology.
