Journal Best Paper Awardee 2023 – Robert Hüneburg
Robert Hüneburg, the first author of the winning article Real-time use of artificial intelligence (CADEYE) in colorectal cancer surveillance of patients with Lynch syndrome-A randomized controlled pilot trial (CADLY) is a gastroenterologist in the Department of Internal Medicine I, National Center for Hereditary Tumor Syndromes, University Hospital Bonn, Germany.
This well-designed German prospective study used a randomised and prospective approach. The topic of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, particularly in relation to endoscopy, is becoming increasingly popular, making this study highly relevant and timely. This is also reflected in the high Altmetrics score, indicating its widespread attention and engagement. Another appealing aspect is the immediate applicability of the study's results in clinical practice.
Robert Hüneburg will receive his award in the UEG Week session Best of hepatology in UEG Journal, and an in-depth discussion of his article will be available on UEG Week+.
