For ulcerative colitis research teams, sponsors, and CROs

Build your next research decision on evidence you can explain.

You need to understand what your imaging supports, where disease activity varies, and what deserves a closer look.

With DovaVision UC, you can examine ulcerative colitis endoscopy videos at frame level, review disease features behind AI-generated scores, and bring structured outputs into your research analysis.

The DovaVision UC research offering is available through Alimentiv’s imaging platform. Research use only; not for diagnosis, clinical decision-making, or patient care. Read the intended-use statement.

Start with your research question. You don’t need to choose a product first.

Find your starting point

Beyond the score

When someone questions a score, you need somewhere to go next.

You already have a research process. You may already have expert reads.

Now you need to understand whether additional imaging analysis can answer a question your existing outputs leave open.

Where does disease activity vary within the procedure? What supports the assessment? What could your team examine alongside the other study data?

Another number only helps when you can understand what it adds.

You don’t have to begin by replacing expert review. In Alimentiv’s workflow, AI analysis supplements the reading process, while blinded expert central readers retain final authority over endpoint scoring.

What matters to you

Give your team something it can use, question, and explain.

Consistency

Compare assessments on a defined basis.

Use standardised AI scoring as an additional measurement approach within your research. Repeatability does not remove the need to evaluate accuracy and suitability.

Visibility

Examine more than the summary.

Review disease activity across the video, including variation that an overall score does not describe.

Defensibility

Explain what supports the result.

Inspect disease-feature information associated with the AI assessment rather than relying on a score alone.

Capacity

Understand the total workload.

Evaluate preparation, processing, review, and rework together. Decide whether the added analysis earns its place in your operation.

Usability

Put the output into your analysis.

Work with visual outputs and structured data exports, including JSON, for further research analysis.

Control

Keep expert judgement in the process.

In Alimentiv’s central-reading workflow, AI provides additional analysis. Expert readers retain endpoint-scoring authority.

You remain accountable for the research. The analysis should help you exercise that responsibility.

Your service options

Choose the support that fits your work.

Your starting point might be an upcoming trial, an existing dataset, an integration requirement, or a development question.

The lanes below describe ways to discuss the work, not fixed packages or guaranteed availability. Scope, responsibilities, access, and delivery arrangements are agreed per project.

Trial imaging analysis

Data-flow requirements, output mapping, access controls, implementation responsibilities, and an agreed test workflow.
Your starting point
Your receiving system, expected analysis volume, data-handling requirements, and technical constraints.
The decision you’re working toward
Whether the implementation effort and ongoing workload are acceptable for the value the analysis provides.

Research and technology collaboration

Project-specific development and validation

Turn your GI application into a question you can test.

You may be evaluating an imaging model, exploring a device integration, or considering a data collaboration. Begin with the intended use and the evidence needed to support it.

Review collaboration areas ↗
Your engagement can be scoped around
Feasibility questions, validation objectives, partner contributions, and agreed development milestones.
Your starting point
The application, imaging modality, available data or technology, and the decisions the work needs to support.
The decision you’re working toward
Whether there is a credible, mutually useful development project to pursue.

Before you proceed

Before you bring another tool into your research.

Will you have to replace your existing readers?

In Alimentiv’s offering, DovaVision UC is an adjunct to the central-reading process. Blinded expert readers retain final authority on endpoint scoring. Establish the appropriate workflow for your study during scoping.

Review the reading workflow ↗
Can you use the research offering for diagnosis or patient care?

No. The DovaVision offering described in the commercial launch is for research use, not diagnosis, clinical decision-making, or patient care. Development-stage clinical applications must be treated separately.

Review the intended-use statement ↗
Can you use videos you have already collected?

Retrospective analysis is a described use. Whether your particular dataset is suitable still needs assessment, including video quality, permissions, and the research question.

Review research-use information ↗
Will you need to rebuild your workflow?

Do not assume that. Start by reviewing your existing systems against the available integration options. The implementation effort needs to be established for your environment, rather than promised away.

Review available integration options ↗
What should you ask to see before proceeding?

Ask for a relevant output example, the evidence applicable to the proposed version, its limitations, and the responsibilities involved in implementation. Your evaluation should address the additional analysis and the work required to use it.

How do you get pricing?

Request a scope and quote for your study or project. Ask for product access, analysis work, integration support, and any partner-delivered services to be identified separately. You should be able to see what is included before agreeing to proceed.
