    Navicam: Swallowing AI literally could save lives with Ray Bengermino (some golf talk, too!)

    Navicam: Swallowing AI literally could save lives with Ray Bengermino (some golf talk, too!)

    The use of “pill cams” (cameras embedded within ingestible capsules) to take pictures of a patient’s digestive tract began almost 20 years ago. It was a huge win to find some very difficult to detect disease, bleeds, obstructions, and more.

    But, that only solved the problem of getting to the problem. The process still requires hours of downloading pictures from the cam (several hours at 6-12 pictures per second!) and then the physician sitting in front of the computer screen, watching the frames, looking for any irregularity. 

    Ray Bengermino of AnX Robotica joins the GCP to introduce the Navicam. In essence this capsule takes the pictures and integrates with AI for detection of anomalies and suspicious appearing tissue. This quickly directs the attention of the physician to enhance his detection of disease. And it is a perfect blend of AI assist. The physician retains full access to exam all of the images, but the AI functions as a team member for the doctor to spend more time evaluating the lesions and less time “hunting” for them.

    Join Ken & Eric as they discuss the cam and how AI can work to benefit the patient.

Favorite Podcast

I am a podcast junky. I have followed all of the super stars of functional medicine for years, searching for ways to heal my chronic digestive issues. The Gut Check Project has become my favorite podcast hands down.

Dr. Brown and Ken dig deep into the latest research and break it down into language that is relatable. Its refreshing to hear an MD acknowledge issues and discuss the root cause versus discussing the pharmaceutical drug to treat the symptom.

They take science based topics and make it fun with their boyish since of humor. My husband started listening to the podcast too. He kept coming into the room hearing me laughing with my headphones on and wanted to know what was so funny.

If you struggle with gut issues, these two funny but brilliant guys will put you on the right path to better health. Enjoy!

The information I’ve always wanted.

I have been struggling with stomach issues for several years now and after I heard the podcast I decided to try KBMD CBD and I have never felt better. I haven’t had stomach issues in a few months and I can’t thank these guys enough! Fan for life!
