On March 6-7, we kicked off the WEO International School of EUS (WISE) 2026 with Module One: Basic Anatomy & Delineation. It was great to see so many early-career doctors from around the world joining online to start this learning journey together.

🙌 At WEO, we’re looking into how the newest guidance on computer-aided detection (CADe) in colonoscopy is being interpreted and used in everyday clinical practice.

Three leading organizations reviewed the same body of evidence, yet reached different recommendations.

We’d like to hear your thoughts:

🟩 How you interpret the current evidence

🟩 Which outcomes are most important to you

🟩 How this shapes your opinion about using CADe in practice

Your feedback will help us gain clearer insight into how CADe can best be integrated into routine colonoscopy.

⏱️ The survey only takes about 5 minutes.
