Hello
I am Norberto I. Estanislao IV, a gastroenterologist based in Metro Manila, Philippines. My medical practice is deeply rooted in therapeutic endoscopy, with a strong commitment to colon cancer prevention and early detection. I employ techniques such as Image Enhanced Endoscopy, and Endoscopic Mucosal Resection, aiming to make significant strides in combating this widespread disease.
A Dream
My journey as a gastroenterologist has been a path marked by continuous learning and advancement. I dedicated myself to mastering procedures such as image-enhanced endoscopy and endoscopic mucosal resection. These techniques have been instrumental in my pursuit to provide the best care for my patients, particularly in the early detection and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
​
Image-enhanced endoscopy allowed me to visualize the gastrointestinal tract with remarkable clarity, enhancing my ability to detect subtle lesions and changes often missed by traditional endoscopy. This proficiency not only improved my diagnostic accuracy but also deepened my understanding of gastrointestinal pathologies.
​
In parallel, I honed my skills in endoscopic mucosal resection, a technique that enables the removal of precancerous growths and early-stage cancers from the digestive tract. This minimally invasive approach has been pivotal in treating patients with a high risk of developing cancer, thereby playing a crucial role in cancer prevention.
​
My experiences with these advanced endoscopic techniques laid the groundwork for my interest in Artificial Intelligence. I began to envision how AI could further enhance diagnostic capabilities and treatment precision. The idea of integrating AI into endoscopic procedures sparked a new passion in me, igniting a desire to explore how technology could revolutionize patient care in gastroenterology.
As I embarked on this new venture, I found myself at the intersection of medical expertise and technological innovation.
​
My goal became clear: to develop an AI-assisted system that could complement and augment the skills I had acquired. Such a system could potentially transform the landscape of colon cancer screening and treatment, offering unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.
​
Today, as I navigate this exciting new field, my journey is guided by a commitment to blending the best of medical techniques with the latest in AI technology. It's a path that promises not only to advance my practice but also to bring about a new era in healthcare, where technology empowers us to save more lives and improve patient outcomes more effectively than ever before.
