Jaipur, 28th November, 2025: Fortis Escorts Hospital Jaipur has launched Rajasthan’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI-Powered Advanced Therapeutic GI Endoscopy Centre, marking a major advancement in state-of-the-art infrastructure for diagnosis of Gastrointestinal-related ailments. Shri Ghanshyam Tiwari, Hon’ble Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, Government of India was the chief guest at the event.
This new AI-powered endoscopy technology functions like a “third eye” for the doctor, detecting even the minutest abnormalities that might otherwise go unnoticed during traditional endoscopic procedures. During the procedure, whether gastroscopy (upper GI) or colonoscopy - the AI powered endoscopy analyzes the video feed in real time. If it spots a suspicious area, it immediately draws a highlighted box on the screen, alerting the doctor to take a closer look. Enhanced colour visualization and high-zoom capabilities help bring subtle changes into sharp focus, improving diagnostic precision. As a result, early-stage diseases can often be identified and treated on the spot through endoscopic removal — without the need for more invasive surgery. The procedure is quick (about 8–10 minutes) and, under mild sedation, virtually painless, with the patient typically discharged within an hour.
Dr Shyam Sundar Sharma, Senior Director & Head, Advanced Therapeutic GI-AI enabled Endoscopy Centre, Fortis Escorts Hospital, Jaipur said, “AI Endoscopy is a revolutionary technology in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal related ailments. With AI, it becomes possible to identify serious conditions like cancer at an early stage and, in many cases, treat them through endoscopy itself without surgery. Our aim is to provide patients with world-class, precise and safe diagnostic services so that serious diseases can be prevented on time. In our country, people often visit doctors only after the disease has significantly progressed. If you have persistent stomach issues, unexplained weight loss, a family history of cancer, smoking/tobacco habits, or are in the 45–50 age group—AI Endoscopy is the most effective way to detect diseases early.”
Dr Manish Kumar Agarwal, Facility Director, Fortis Escorts Hospital, Jaipur said, “The launch of Rajasthan’s first AI-based Endoscopy Centre at Fortis Escorts Hospital, Jaipur reflects our commitment to bringing the most advanced, patient-centric medical innovation to the state. This breakthrough technology enhances diagnostic accuracy, supports early detection, and significantly improves clinical outcomes for patients with gastrointestinal disorders. By integrating AI into routine endoscopic procedures, we are
empowering our clinicians with sharper, real-time insights and ensuring safer, faster and more precise care. Our endeavour is to continuously elevate healthcare standards in Rajasthan and make world-class technologies accessible to every patient who walks through our doors.”
