Fortis Escorts Hospital Jaipur Launches Rajasthan’s First AI-Powered Advanced Therapeutic GI Endoscopy Centre

Jaipur : Fortis Escorts Hospital, Jaipur has unveiled Rajasthan’s first AI-Powered Advanced Therapeutic GI Endoscopy Centre, marking a significant leap in cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic gastroenterology infrastructure. Shri Ghanshyam Tiwari, Hon’ble Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), graced the launch as the chief guest.

The newly introduced AI-driven endoscopy platform functions as a digital “third eye”—constantly scanning the live video feed during gastroscopy or colonoscopy to detect even the faintest abnormalities that human vision may miss. When the system identifies a suspicious region, it instantly highlights the area on screen, prompting the clinician to examine it further. Enhanced colour contrast and high-magnification capabilities sharpen subtle mucosal changes, improving the accuracy of diagnosis.

Crucially, the technology enables early detection of gastrointestinal disorders, including precancerous lesions. Many early-stage conditions can be treated immediately through therapeutic endoscopic procedures, eliminating the need for invasive surgery. The procedure typically lasts only 8–10 minutes, is nearly painless under mild sedation, and allows most patients to go home within an hour.

Dr. Shyam Sundar Sharma, Senior Director & Head, Advanced Therapeutic GI–AI Enabled Endoscopy Centre, said, “AI endoscopy is a game-changer in diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases. With AI, early detection of serious conditions—including cancers—becomes far more likely, and many can be treated right there through endoscopy without the need for surgery. Our goal is to offer precise, safe and world-class diagnostic services so that serious diseases can be prevented before they advance. Across India, patients often seek medical help late; anyone with chronic digestive symptoms, unexplained weight loss, a family history of cancer, smoking habits, or in the 45–50 age group should consider AI endoscopy for early detection.”

Dr. Manish Kumar Agarwal, Facility Director, Fortis Escorts Hospital Jaipur, said, “The launch of Rajasthan’s first AI-based Endoscopy Centre reflects our commitment to delivering patient-centric innovation. This breakthrough enhances diagnostic accuracy, promotes early intervention, and improves outcomes for patients with GI disorders. By integrating AI into routine endoscopic care, we are empowering clinicians with sharper real-time insights and ensuring faster, safer, and more precise treatment. Our endeavour is to raise the bar of healthcare in Rajasthan and bring global-standard technologies within every patient’s reach.”
