Nyborg, Denmark, 29-30 September 2025
At this year’s REFLECT international symposium, the AICE team led a dedicated session on AI-assisted colon capsule endoscopy, demonstrating how engineering, clinical practice, and patient-centred design can come together to accelerate safe adoption across Europe.
Hosted at the Sinatur Hotel Storebælt by SATCC (OUH Svendborg), REFLECT convened international experts in gastroenterology, surgery, engineering, and digital health to explore the next generation of minimally invasive diagnostics.
AICE takes centre stage
The AICE project led Session V, chaired by Professors. Gunnar Baatrup and Esmaeil Nadimi, with Dr. Ulrik Deding. The session brought together the full breadth of AICE’s expertise in AI engineering, clinical practice, patient experience, and evaluation, showcasing progress toward a validated, patient-centred AI pathway for colon capsule endoscopy.
The AICE team presentations included:
- “Results of AICE” by Dr. Benedicte Schelde-Olesen
- “Development of AI for colon capsule endoscopy – the engineers’ view” by Associate Professor Jan-Matthias Braun
- “Development of AI for colon capsule endoscopy – the clinical view” by Professor Angus Watson
- “How likeable is the CCE pathway for patients?” by Professor Roma Maguire
Together, the talks highlighted how AICE’s interdisciplinary model, spanning algorithm design, clinical workflow integration, and patient-reported experience, advances the practical use of AI in capsule diagnostics.
To emphasise why patient perspectives are integral to AICE’s approach, Professor Roma Maguire reflected on the importance of designing with and for patients: “Accuracy gets attention, and acceptability earns adoption. By capturing patient experience from preparation through to results, AICE aims to deliver a pathway that patients trust, and clinicians can scale.”
Collaboration that moves the field forward
REFLECT 2025 provided AICE with a focused platform to demonstrate how its AI engineering, clinical, and patient-experience strands are converging into a diagnostic pathway. The conversations in Nyborg reinforced our commitment to co-design and real-world evaluation, and to progressing this work with partners across Europe. AICE thanks the organisers and colleagues for a constructive meeting and looks forward to sharing further progress with the community.
