Launched at University Hospital Galway’s Urology Department in collaboration with Health Innovation Hub Ireland, the study focused on enhancing an AI model’s ability to detect bladder wall edges using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The study, which received full ethics approval, involved the collection of anonymous scan images over three months using the Vitacon Bladder Scanner to refine the AI model.
This advancement underscores the commitment of UHG, HIHI, Vitacon, and Cardiogenics Ltd to pioneering AI-driven solutions that elevate patient care standards.
Special thanks to everyone involved in making this study a success, particularly Brian Turvey from Cardiogenics for his generous donation of anatomical models and posters to the Urology Department at Galway University Hospital.
