Patent number: 11918178Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods that leverage machine-learned models to decrease the rate at which abnormal sites are missed during a gastroenterological procedure. In particular, the system and methods of the present disclosure can use machine-learning techniques to determine the coverage rate achieved during a gastroenterological procedure. Measuring the coverage rate of the gastroenterological procedure can allow medical professionals to be alerted when the coverage output is deficient and thus allow an additional coverage to be achieved and as a result increase in the detection rate for abnormal sites (e.g., adenoma, polyp, lesion, tumor, etc.) during the gastroenterological procedure.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Daniel Freedman, Yacob Yochai Blau, Liran Katzir, Amit Aides, Ilan Moshe Shimshoni, Ehud Benyamin Rivlin, Yossi Matias
