Summary

Researchers at the University of Auckland's Liggins Institute are developing an AI system trained on stool samples from New Zealand's bowel screening programme to predict bowel cancer risk earlier. The AI would analyze Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) samples, which detect hidden blood in stool — a key risk factor for bowel cancer. The goal is to enable earlier diagnosis and improve patient outcomes.
