Abstract
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in endoscopy has shown immense potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy, streamline procedures, and improve patient outcomes. There are potential uses in every field of endoscopy, from improving adenoma detection rate (ADR) in colonoscopy to reducing read time in capsule endoscopy or minimizing blind spots in gastroscopy. Indeed, some of these systems are already licensed and in commercial use across the world. In the Middle East, where healthcare systems are rapidly evolving, there is a growing interest in adopting AI technologies to revolutionise endoscopic practices. This article provides an overview of the advancements, potential opportunities and challenges associated with the implementation of AI in endoscopy within the Middle East region. Our aim is to contribute to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the implementation of AI in endoscopy and consider some of the factors that are particularly relevant in the Middle Eastern context, including the need to train the models for local populations, cost and training, as well as trying to ensure equity of access for patients. It provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers interested in leveraging AI to enhance endoscopic procedures, improve patient care, and address the unique healthcare needs of the Middle East population.
