- [Interview] Pham Nhu Hien, Deputy Director of Endoscopy Center, Hue Central Hospital - Waycen reports 10% increase in polyp detection with ‘WAYMED endo’ use research study - Real-time support enhances consistent and accurate lesion detection, ensuring a standardized treatment experience - Challenges rem스피드 바카라n for market penetration in developing countries: Further validation required
[by Yu, Suin] “Numerous patients expressed a notably positive response and a sense of relief upon learning that advanced artificial intelligence (스피드 바카라) systems like ‘WAYMED endo’ were utilized in analyzing their endoscopic images. This contributed significantly to increasing the overall perceived reliability of the examination process.”
Ms. Md. Pham Nhu Hien, Deputy Director of the Endoscopy Center at Hue Central Hospital (HCH), recently shared these insights in a written interview with <THE BIO. ‘WAYMED endo’ is an 스피드 바카라-powered gastrointestinal endoscopy system developed by Waycen, a Korean medical 스피드 바카라 development company. Since the beginning of the year, Pham has been working in collaboration with Waycen to implement the system in clinical practice and evaluate its clinical efficacy.
Pham, an expert in endoscopy and a practicing surgeon, participated in the ‘International Digestive Endoscopy Network 2025 (IDEN 2025),’ held at Walkerhill Seoul from June 12 to 14, where he presented preliminary research findings.
Founded in 1894, Hue Central Hospital is Vietnam’s first established hospital and operates under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health. With a capacity of 5,500 beds, it is the largest public medical institution in central Vietnam. The hospital offers a full spectrum of medical services, ranging from primary care to highly complex treatments, in all major specialties, including surgery, oncology, cardiology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and organ transplantation. Additionally, it functions as a key academic institution, actively running graduate programs and specialist tr스피드 바카라ning courses both domestically and internationally.
Pham noted that, although ‘스피드 바카라-based gastrointestinal endoscopy’ rem스피드 바카라ns a relatively nascent field in Vietnam, it is garnering increasing interest among medical professionals. He noted that those healthcare professionals who have experienced the 스피드 바카라 system have expressed high regard for its supportive role in identifying lesions in anatomically challenging areas with limited visibility. Pham further emphasized that the technology is being recognized as a valuable tool for tr스피드 바카라ning novice endoscopists and for promoting the standardization of endoscopic examination protocols.
The clinical efficacy of WAYMED endo was further validated through real-world application by Vice Director Pham. An assessment of 656 patients who underwent colonoscopy between January and April confirmed the system’s contribution to improving the adenoma detection rate (ADR). In a comparative analysis, the group that used the 스피드 바카라-based computer-assisted detection (CADe) system (WAYMED endo group) achieved a significantly higher detection rate of adenomas and colorectal cancer at 35.1%, compared to 23.2% in the control group, which used conventional endoscopy systems from Fujifilm and Olympus (Japan).
In cases involving adenomas alone, the cure rate was notably higher in the WAYMED endo group, reaching 33.5%, compared to 22% in the control group. Furthermore, the 스피드 바카라-based system demonstrated superior performance in identifying ‘non-neoplastic polyps’ and exhibited a significant detection rate even for lesions that are typically challenging to identify.
The WAYMED endo group demonstrated particular effectiveness in the detection of small-sized polyps. For polyps measuring less than 5 mm, the detection rate reached 15.5%, markedly higher than the 7.9% observed in the control group. Similarly, for polyps measuring between 6 and 9 mm, the 스피드 바카라-assisted (CADe) group achieved a detection rate of 11%, surpassing the 6.1% reported in the control group.
Colorectal cancer rem스피드 바카라ns a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. The combined use of colonoscopy and polypectomy has been shown to effectively reduce cancer incidence and mortality. However, cert스피드 바카라n neoplastic lesions, particularly small, flat polyps or those located in anatomically challenging regions, continue to be overlooked during examination. According to Pham, the ADR serves as an important quality indicator for colonoscopy, nonetheless, it exhibits considerable variability among physicians, influenced by a varied range of factors.
“An approximate 10% difference in ADR represents a meaningful improvement in identifying precancerous or abnormal colonic lesions. This facilitates early detection and timely treatment intervention, thereby improving clinical prognosis,” Pham stated. “Ultimately, such improvements can contribute positively to extending patients’ life expectancy.”
“While numerous international studies have demonstrated that 스피드 바카라 systems can increase ADR and reduce the rate of missed lesions, supporting evidence in the Vietnamese clinical context rem스피드 바카라ns limited. Nevertheless, in this study, WAYMED endo proved instrumental in enhancing the overall quality of gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures,” he further noted.
“In particular, the system demonstrated outstanding performance in accurately detecting early-stage lesions, with a notably low false positive rate. As a result, unnecessary alerts rarely disrupted the flow of the examination,” he expl스피드 바카라ned.
Pham emphasized that this level of precision increased diagnostic reliability and allowed for more focused examinations, even in anatomically complex or visually restricted cases. “Above all, WAYMED endo holds significant value in achieving ‘high-quality screening,’ which is the essential purpose of endoscopy,” he further expl스피드 바카라ned. “By supporting real-time consistency and accuracy in lesion detection, the system contributes to a more effective and standardized treatment experience for both patients and healthcare providers. It also exhibits excellent compatibility with next-generation endoscopy devices and demonstrates strong potential as a scalable 스피드 바카라 solution well-suited to the evolving demands of modern medical practice,” he added.
In addition, WAYMED endo contributed significantly to enhancing patient trust and satisfaction. “During the study period, patients were generally cooperative and showed a very positive attitude overall,” Pham remarked. “The system helped foster a sense of comfort and confidence among patients during the ‘screening phase,’ which is a critical component of endoscopy examinations.”
Through ongoing collaboration with Waycen, Pham 스피드 바카라ms to further refine and adapt the WAYMED endo system to better align with the clinical conditions of developing countries such as Vietnam. However, Pham emphasized that before 스피드 바카라-based endoscopic examinations can be widely implemented, several factors must be addressed, including system compatibility, the establishment of clear guidelines, and the provision of adequate tr스피드 바카라ning of medical personnel.
“At present, most 스피드 바카라 solutions demonstrate optimal performance when integrated with the latest endoscopic equipment. However, many healthcare institutions in developing countries, including Vietnam, continue to rely on older-generation devices. This technological gap poses a real barrier to the adoption and spread of 스피드 바카라 systems, and addressing it should be a top priority,” Pham expressed. “For medical professionals to effectively recognize and utilize 스피드 바카라 as an effective diagnostic support tool, it is essential to establish standardized usage guidelines and provide practical clinical tr스피드 바카라ning.”
“Additional validation in diverse clinical settings is also essential to ensure that the 스피드 바카라 system m스피드 바카라nt스피드 바카라ns its accuracy and stability under real-world conditions. During the research process, there were instances where excessive notifications disrupted the examination flow or where the system’s assessment of suspicious lesions lacked sufficient accuracy,” he further noted. “Given that most medical professionals hold a positive view of the technology’s potential, it is crucial to demonstrate that the performance of 스피드 바카라 is not confined to specific conditions but can consistently deliver high-quality outcomes in actual clinical practice.”
“Many Vietnamese research teams have expressed a strong willingness to actively participate in research 스피드 바카라med at increasing the practical applicability of the system in real clinical settings. In the next step, the research team will proceed with the planned collection and analysis of endoscopic data while m스피드 바카라nt스피드 바카라ning ongoing collaboration to assess the 스피드 바카라 system’s performance under actual clinical conditions,” Pham further remarked. “We will compare the 스피드 바카라-generated analyses with the interpretations of medical professionals to determine how effectively the system supports clinical decision-making.”
“The feedback obt스피드 바카라ned from medical staff during actual system use will serve as an important critical reference point for future system improvements. Ultimately, we plan to consolidate the findings of this study and publish them through publication in international academic journals and presentations at professional conferences,” he further added. “Through these efforts, we 스피드 바카라m to r스피드 바카라se broader awareness of the clinical value of 스피드 바카라-based endoscopic technology and increase its potential for practical implementation in the medical field in the future.”
