Vancouver, BC – October 7, 2025 - Dova Health Intelligence is proud to announce a new collaboration with Mayo Clinic to advance the development and validation of DovaVision UC Mayo Endoscopic Score (MES) - an AI-powered tool designed to deliver more precise and reproducible scoring of ulcerative colitis disease activity from colonoscopy videos.
Accurate evaluation of mucosal healing is a cornerstone of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management and research. By leveraging computer vision and deep learning, DovaVision UC MES standardizes endoscopic scoring, reduces inter-reader variability, and supports more informed decision-making for clinicians and researchers.
Through this collaboration, Dova and Mayo Clinic will conduct joint regulatory preparation to bring DovaVision UC MES to both clinical and research settings. The partnership will focus on refining the product for seamless integration into gastroenterology workflows and to prepare for FDA regulatory clearance.
“We are excited to work with Dova, an industry leader in the development of AI-enabled digital health solutions for the assessment of GI diseases, to validate DovaVision UC for the automated scoring of the Mayo Endoscopic Score,” said Dr. Darrell Pardi, Chair of the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic Rochester.
“We are honored to collaborate with Mayo Clinic, whose leadership in IBD care and research is globally recognized,” said Solveig Johannessen, CEO of Dova Health Intelligence. “By combining Dova’s AI expertise with Mayo Clinic’s clinical excellence, we aim to deliver a tool that raises the standard for endoscopic assessment in ulcerative colitis and accelerates innovation in both trial design and patient care.”
“Working in this rapidly developing domain is exciting,” added Dr. Michael Byrne, Chairman and Founder of Dova Health, and Clinical Professor of Medicine in Vancouver. “Together with Mayo Clinic, we aim to set new standards in the digital assessment of inflammatory bowel disease.”
Dova Health extends its appreciation to Mayo Clinic for this meaningful collaboration and for their ongoing leadership in advancing patient care through innovation.
