New 'woma' foundation model sets real-time endoscopy standard

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed "woma," a real-time foundation model for gastrointestinal endoscopy, trained without labels on approximately one million endoscopy frames. This model can be fine-tuned for specific tasks, such as polyp detection and lesion flagging. The "woma" model demonstrates high performance, finding 96% of polyps with high precision and correctly naming anatomical landmarks in 92% of frames. Notably, it operates at approximately 100 frames per second on a single workstation GPU, outperforming popular frameworks like PyTorch, ONNX Runtime, and TensorRT in speed and efficiency. AI

IMPACT Sets a new benchmark for real-time AI model performance in medical imaging, potentially accelerating adoption in clinical settings.
