Core Tip

Core Tip: With the continuous development of artificial intelligence, its integration in the field of medical and health care has received increasing attention, allowing the development and application of medical expert systems and artificial neural networks in the medical field. The development of artificial intelligence has resulted in not only more accurate diagnoses of digestive system diseases but also new treatments. Further research on the progress of artificial intelligence in digestive system diseases is needed to better serve patients.
