Artificial Intelligence seemed to be a futuristic technology in the
not so distant past. Now we use it in our everyday lives on our phones, web search engines and a variety of software. In healthcare, this technology can help you in many different areas, including visual inspection. It’s one of the reasons why we partnered
with WatchDog Endo AI, to help sterile processing professionals visually inspect Flexible Scopes.
WatchDog Endo AI is an artificial intelligence software designed to
augment technician processes during scope inspection. This software works together with Flexible Inspection Scopes to provide a standardized process for detecting visual anomalies within a scope’s working channel. WatchDog Endo AI assists the technicians during
the post-cleaning process by identifying anomalies within the working channel, such as scratches, crimps, stains, peeling, and moisture droplets. This data is collected and reported to help SPD managers determine cleanliness and maintenance requirements for
endoscopes prior to patient usage.
WatchDog Endo AI provides an enhanced video feed and still photo capability
that captures the inspection of the working channel and creates a standardized, easily trainable process for technicians to consistently review and identify working channel anomalies. This sameness allows for better and consistent processes regardless of whether
it is the first or the 100th scope processed. The software also provides a time-neutral enhancement to the normal scope inspection process, allowing technicians to perform the same task within the same amount of time while the AI identifies anomalies and generates
a report of each inspection.
There are many advantages to using Healthmark’s Flexible Inspection
Scope (FIS-007) with WatchDog Endo AI:
-
Best image/video quality with FIS-007 - image quality matters and the Flexible Inspection Scope is best in class.
-
Ready-to-go AI on the FIS (not currently available on other units/borescopes)
-
Ease of standardization across the system with FIS and Watchdog Endo AI together
-
Ease of software upgrade/deployment of new tech as it becomes available - both with FIS and Watchdog Endo AI
-
Support of the team - the implementation team is brilliant, offering best-in-class products, training and support!
