NaviCam ProScan
Overview
NaviCam ProScan is an artificial intelligence (AI) assisted reading tool designed to revolutionize the diagnostic process for small bowel capsule endoscopy. It aids reviewers in significantly decreasing the time required to analyze pre-recorded capsule endoscopy videos, particularly for adult patients with suspected small bowel bleeding. The software utilizes advanced algorithms to identify and mark images and areas of interest, such as suspected lesions, and assists in pinpointing the digestive tract location (oral cavity and beyond, esophagus, stomach, small bowel).
ProScan is intended to enhance, not replace, clinical decision-making, empowering gastroenterologists to review studies more efficiently without sacrificing diagnostic accuracy. It integrates seamlessly with the NaviCam Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy System and ESView software, streamlining diagnostic workflows and supporting consistent, high-sensitivity detection of various abnormalities like bleeding, ulcers, strictures, and inflammatory changes.

What Physicians Need to Know
NaviCam ProScan is an invaluable AI-assisted reading tool for small bowel capsule endoscopy, significantly reducing review time and enhancing lesion detection. Remember that it serves as an adjunct; the clinician remains responsible for reviewing the entire video, conducting their own assessment of the AI-assisted findings, and making the final clinical diagnosis. Utilize its precise digestive tract localization and high sensitivity to focus your review on areas of interest, especially for suspected small bowel bleeding, but always exercise your professional judgment and consider further evaluation if symptoms persist.
NaviCam ProScan is specifically engineered for seamless integration with the NaviCam Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy System and its ESView software. It functions as an add-on to this existing platform, leveraging the captured capsule endoscopy images for AI-driven analysis.

What the Web Says
NaviCam ProScan is an AI-assisted reading tool designed to significantly reduce the time physicians spend reviewing small bowel capsule endoscopy images, particularly for suspected small bowel bleeding. It has received FDA de novo clearance and is the first AI-based tool of its kind to support small bowel capsule endoscopy reviewers. The system aims to enhance diagnostic workflows, improve efficiency, and provide clinicians with more informed decisions.
Overall: PositiveStrengths
- Significantly reduces reading time for capsule endoscopy images (from an average of 58.10 minutes to 21.47 minutes in one study, and from 33.7 minutes to 3.8 minutes in another).
- High sensitivity in detecting abnormalities and lesions (98% patient-level sensitivity, 95.05% image-level sensitivity, and 99.9% lesion detection sensitivity in some studies).
- Enhances diagnostic accuracy and yield.
- Assists in identifying digestive tract location.
- FDA-cleared and clinically validated.
- Improves workflow efficiency and diagnostic confidence.
Limitations
- Patient-level specificity was 37%, suggesting clinicians need to carefully review findings to identify false positives.
- AI standalone performance has not been established, and it is not intended to replace clinical decision-making.
- Lack of lesion-level data introduces uncertainty regarding the ability of the device to detect individual lesions.
- Some general 'ProScan' reviews (not specific to NaviCam ProScan) on Reddit and Capterra mention issues with older, underpowered tablets and slow systems, though these do not appear to be related to AnX Robotica's product.
