Recently, the innovative product computer-aided detection software for electronic endoscope for colon polyps of Tencent Healthcare (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. is approved by China NMPA.

This product is applied for adult colon polyp examination by displaying suspected polyp areas in the video images output by electronic endoscope devices. Its principle is to import video image signal into the video stream output by the image processor of the electronic endoscope, mark the suspected polyp position after analysis of software deep learning algorithms, and display it on the video client, without affecting the original image display of the electronic endoscope. Doctors assess the presence of polyps based on the patient's condition and the labeled images in the electronic endoscope.

The NMPA will strengthen the post-marketing surveillance of the product to protect the safety of medical devices used by patients.
