CADDIE™ Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) Device
Overview
CADDIE™ is a cutting-edge, cloud-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) system developed by Odin Medical Ltd., an Olympus Corporation company. It is designed to assist gastroenterologists in real-time detection and characterization of suspected colorectal polyps during colonoscopy procedures. The system analyzes colonoscopy video in real-time, providing visual markers (a clear green rectangle) and audible alerts to draw the endoscopist’s attention to potential polyps. CADDIE also aids in polyp characterization, helping trained endoscopists differentiate between adenoma and non-adenoma tissue, which can lead to same-day results for patients. Furthermore, CADDIE offers features for assessing bowel cleanliness by displaying the percentage of visible mucosa and identifying the Appendiceal Orifice (AO) to remind users to activate polyp detection during the withdrawal phase. CADDIE operates as standalone software deployed on the cloud, accessed via a web browser, and integrates with existing clinical workflows and endoscopy equipment, including Olympus’ EVIS X1 and EVIS EXERA III systems. It is vendor-neutral and can be used with a single or second monitor.

Use Cases
- Assisting gastroenterologists in real-time detection of suspected colorectal polyps during colonoscopy procedures.
- Improving adenoma detection rates (ADR) during colonoscopies, particularly for high-risk and hard-to-detect lesions.
- Aiding in the characterization of colorectal polyps as adenoma or non-adenoma for optical diagnosis.
- Enhancing colonoscopy quality by monitoring bowel cleanliness and confirming caecal intubation.
- Supporting earlier detection of colorectal cancer and improving patient outcomes.
- Providing real-time support to endoscopists, acting as a 'second pair of eyes' to reduce missed lesions.
What Physicians Need to Know
CADDIEu2122 is an AI-powered tool designed to assist in real-time colorectal polyp detection during colonoscopies, particularly for high-risk and hard-to-detect lesions. Remember that CADDIEu2122 is a supplementary aid; your independent clinical judgment remains paramount for confirming polyp presence, classification, and determining treatment plans. In regions where CADx is available, leverage its characterization function to aid in optical diagnosis. Utilize the cloud-based updates to ensure you are always working with the latest AI advancements. Be mindful of potential alert fatigue during longer procedures and maintain vigilance. The system's integration features, such as automatic identification of anatomical landmarks, can further streamline your workflow.
CADDIEu2122 is a cloud-based software solution that integrates with the Olympus EVIS X1u2122 and EVIS EXERAu2122 III endoscopy systems. It can be deployed as a standalone computer or accessed via the cloud, connecting to the endoscopy processor and monitor through a secure web browser and hospital internet network. This cloud-based architecture allows for instant and automatic software updates. CADDIEu2122 is part of the OLYSENSEu2122 Intelligent Endoscopy Ecosystem, which aims to integrate clinical and operational solutions, providing data connectivity across the GI unit and integration with hospital systems.

What the Web Says
The Olympus CADDIEu2122 Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) Device is a cloud-based AI solution designed to assist gastroenterologists in real-time detection of colorectal polyps during colonoscopies. It has received FDA clearance and CE mark, and studies, such as the EAGLE Trial, indicate its potential to improve the detection rate of various types of lesions, including high-risk and hard-to-detect ones, without significantly impacting procedure time or safety. The system is part of Olympus' OLYSENSEu2122 Intelligent Endoscopy Ecosystem, aiming to integrate clinical and operational solutions.
Overall: PositiveStrengths
- Increases adenoma detection rate (ADR) and polyp detection rate (PDR).
- Improves detection of high-risk and hard-to-detect lesions, including large adenomas, non-polyploid adenomas, and sessile serrated lesions (SSLs).
- Cloud-based system allows for remote updates and continuous innovation.
- Does not significantly increase colonoscopy withdrawal time or procedural risks.
- Can enhance consistency across operators and improve diagnostic accuracy.
- Integrates with existing Olympus endoscopy systems (EVIS X1u2122 and EVIS EXERAu2122 III).
Limitations
- May primarily increase detection of diminutive polyps (less than five millimeters), with the impact on clinically relevant lesions still debated.
- Concerns exist regarding potential false positives and automation bias.
- Some studies show conflicting evidence on its effectiveness in real-world settings compared to trial-based data.
- Long-term effectiveness data and real-world cost-effectiveness are still limited.
- System compatibility and harmonization issues with diverse endoscopy systems can complicate adoption.
- AI systems may not detect lesions that are also missed by humans, indicating a need for further evolution.
