The revolutionary artificial intelligence (AI) system identifies and characterises polyps by analysing live colonoscopy video, leading to early treatment and saved lives. 

The project will use secure, high-speed satellite communications with bespoke space compression software to create a cloud-based AI system that can support doctors in their decision making. Through the use of space technology, the system can be deployed anywhere on earth enabling patients to receive a consistent, high level of care. 

"We are moving into a new era of healthcare where Artificial Intelligence (AI) will support doctors to identify and diagnose cancer faster and more effectively". 

— Peter Mountney, CEO of Odin Vision 

The project is a collaboration between Odin Vision, University College London (UCL) and University College London Hospital (UCLH) with support from Avanti Communications and SEHTA and funding of £1million from the UK Space Agency. Odin Vision is a UCL spin-out supported through UCLB’s Portico Ventures programme. The academic research for the project has taken place at WEISS, UCL.
