SUFFERN, N.Y., Jan. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WATS3D, an AI-powered diagnostic platform developed by CDx Diagnostics to identify precancerous and cancerous cells in the esophagus, is now considered a medically necessary service by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina. In accordance with accepted standards of medical practice based on credible scientific evidence and gastrointestinal society recommendations, South Carolina’s largest privately-owned and operated health insurance carrier will now cover WATS3D testing for over 1.2 million members.
WATS3D overcomes the limitations associated with traditional upper endoscopy screening and surveillance methods through the use of a unique combination of superior sampling, advanced 3D imaging, and advanced Artificial Intelligence analysis to reliably detect Barrett’s esophagus (BE) and esophageal dysplasia. In large multicenter clinical trials, WATS3D was found to significantly increase the detection rate of both BE and esophageal dysplasia, demonstrating the far-reaching implications of the WATS3D Artificial Intelligence-powered diagnostic platform for diagnosing and preventing esophageal cancer, one of the fastest growing and most fatal cancers in the US.
“CDx Diagnostics, Inc. is excited to receive the medically necessary designation for WATS3D from BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina,” said Bill Huffnagle, CEO of CDx Diagnostics. “South Carolina joins Massachusetts and Hawaii as states where insurers are recognizing the impact on patient outcomes and the importance of making WATS3D testing more widely available. Physicians in those states now have advanced technology and screening they can use in the fight against cancer while their patients have peace of mind in knowing the testing is covered through their insurance plans.”
CDx has completed the five major pillars of evidence-based medicine for WATS3D, including Analytic Validity, Clinical Validity, Clinical Utility, Cost Effectiveness and Recommendations by Major Medical Societies. The technology has earned recognition from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) and the American Foregut Society (AFS).
In 2019, the ASGE included WATS3D in its Standards of Practice Committee’s guideline for the screening and surveillance of BE. In 2020, the technology was deemed a safe and effective adjunct to forceps biopsies in the evaluation of BE, low-grade dysplasia, and high-grade dysplasia by SAGES and its Technology and Value Assessment Committee (TAVAC). About CDx Diagnostics Donnie Turlington

CDx tests require only a few minutes of practice time, are highly cost effective, widely reimbursed, and address a recognized critical gap in the current diagnostic standard of care that results in thousands of otherwise unnecessary cancer deaths each year. Routine clinical use of CDx testing has already detected thousands of cancers that would otherwise have been missed in time for effective endoscopic treatment and application of the CDx Diagnostics platform to prevent cancers of the bile duct, stomach, and IBD affected colon is currently in progress.

Travelling across Europe, the series reveals the personal, societal and environmental benefits of digitalization
DÜSSELDORF, Germany, July 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The first episode of the three-part documentary series “Being Digi-Sapiens” was released today by Warner Bros. Discovery. It features the Swedish inventor, roboticist and YouTuber Simone Giertz as she travels across Europe to see how technology is transforming our daily lives. The series was made with support from Huawei and features a broad range of digital innovations, reaching far beyond the brand’s own products.
The first episode, “Connecting with Ourselves” explores digital technology’s impact on our homes, health and hospitals. After kicking things off in a tech-enhanced fiber-connected home in Bonn, claiming to have one of the “fastest internet connections in Germany”, Simone heads to a state-of-the-art sports and health lab to see first-hand how both professional and amateur athletes are benefiting from cutting-edge data collection. Finally, Simone visits Barcelona’s historical Hospital de la Santa Creu I Sant Pau to get a crash course in how the latest technologies are being harnessed to help patients more effectively.
Warner Bros. Discovery Greater China and South East Asia’s Vice President and Head of Content & Products, Vikram Channa, said “The idea of becoming ‘Digi-Sapiens’ represents the next step in our evolution, where digital technology enhances our natural abilities and expands what we can achieve. The documentary aims to inspire viewers to see the potential in embracing technology thoughtfully and creatively. It’s about highlighting how technology can improve our lives, solve real-world problems, and open up new opportunities.”
In the coming two episodes, Simone will crisscross more European countries to discover how technology is helping us connect with our communities and our environment.
Smart home in Bonn, GermanyHuawei’s Fiber-to-The-Room (FTTR) Demo House in Bonn allows visitors to experience what life feels like in a world where networks respond at light speed at all times, no matter how much data is being transmitted or where in a building we stand. Simone uses the opportunity to set up an array of video calls with herself. But her experiment is suddenly interrupted by a digital poltergeist…
Wearable health and fitness tech, in Helsinki, FinlandElite athletes rely heavily on technology to precisely measure and optimize their performance. The results are improved strides and endurance for runners, more efficient swimming strokes, and more balanced weight bearing on both legs while skiing. But it’s not only top athletes who can benefit. At Huawei’s state-of-the-art lab in Helsinki, Simone discovers that her biological age, according to wearable data, is younger than her age in calendar years. She also tries out running at full speed on a treadmill to find out her lungs’ maximum capacity.
Sant Pau Hospital in Barcelona, SpainSant Pau may be old, but it’s certainly not obsolete. The latest technologies implemented by the hospital help improve treatment for patients. As Simone tours Sant Pau’s Dimension Lab to discover VR applications in medicine, a doctor hands her an exact replica of a human heart made on a 3D printer. Simone had no idea it was so big…
Since 2020, Huawei has been Sant Pau’s leading strategic partner in state-of-the-art storage systems. Huawei supplied Sant Pau with an all-flash storage solution providing medical staff near-instant access to patient data when needed. The solution features the latest backup, recovery, and anti-ransomware technologies ensuring the highest levels of patient data protection.
