AI is already improving colonoscopy and capsule endoscopy -- Saudi Arabia's roadmap for scaling it up nationally.
Syed Anjum Gardezi, Rawan Al Ghawi, Turki AlAmeel, et al.
This review surveys how artificial intelligence is improving polyp detection in colonoscopy and cutting capsule endoscopy reading times, while noting that applications in ultrasound-guided procedures and inflammatory bowel disease prediction remain early-stage. It argues Saudi Arabia's digital health infrastructure and Vision 2030 priorities position it well to scale AI adoption, provided the country invests in clinician training, standardized data pipelines, and clear regulatory pathways. The authors outline a phased national strategy moving from pilot projects toward broader deployment.
