At the Department of Gynaecology at Odense University Hospital (OUH), a significant amount of resources is currently spent on diagnostic workups that ultimately conclude there are no findings requiring treatment.
It is a fundamental condition of diagnostics that thorough examinations are necessary in order to rule out disease, but this means that doctors and nurses spend time on tests and examinations that ultimately result in disease being excluded and no treatment being needed.
We spend a great deal of time performing scans and examinations of what turn out to be normal conditions. That accounts for almost 80 per cent of what we do.

It is precisely this clinical starting point that forms part of the background for the Endometriosis Robot – EndoMedBot, which has received DKK 150,000 from MedTech Odense’s IDEA fund.
The project is developing a technological platform that, using an AI-driven robot, can improve current diagnostic methods for diseases in the uterine cavity. It is anchored at the Department of Gynaecology at OUH in collaboration with SDU Robotics.
