Satisfai Health's licensing of AI-enhanced software will provide clinicians 
with faster, more effective diagnostics during endoscopic procedures. Diagnosis 
entails imaging and biopsies of the esophagus to check for precancerous cells 
(dysplasia) which can be treated to prevent esophageal cancer.

"AI will revolutionize endoscopy and our tool is the first step to improve and 
optimize the detection of Barrett's cancer," said Dr. Helmut Messman, Professor 
of Gastroenterology at the University of Augsburg and current President of the 
European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). "I am extremely happy 
that we will continue our research in this field with Satisfai."

"OTH Regensburg and University Hospital Augsburg unite several years of 
successful research in AI for the upper gastrointestinal tract," the 
Universities said in a joint statement. "We are delighted to collaborate with 
Satisfai to translate this research into clinical practice," said Dr Christoph 
Palm, Professor of Medical Image Computing in Regensburg.

"We are passionate about developing technology that helps doctors and their 
patients," stated Dr. Michael Byrne, Satisfai Health CEO, and Clinical 
Professor of Medicine in Vancouver. "Our collaborations and partnerships aim to 
deliver precision care to millions of patients across a range of GI diseases."

Dr James East, Associate Professor in Gastroenterology at John Radcliffe 
Hospital, University of Oxford, noted, "Barrett's is the next frontier for AI 
in endoscopy after the colon. Satisfai's collaboration with the Messmann group 
is a giant step closer to a Barrett's AI expert at our shoulder in every 
endoscopy room."
