AIML and CCCure use machine learning to improve outcomes for those with IBD

September 01 2025

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that causes inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, and impaired digestion. IBD affects more than 6.8 million people worldwide. In Australia, over 180,000 people are currently living with IBD, including both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which often require long-term and complex medical management. With rates continuing to rise globally,

Algorithmic audit for safer medical AI systems
