Alimentiv And Dova Health Intelligence (Previously Satisfai Health Inc.) Launch An AI Solution For Scoring Of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) At DDW 2025 In San Diego

Dova’s advanced AI co-pilot, DovaVision™, is an endoscopy reading tool for UC clinical trials that reveals and quantifies nuanced disease severity for actionable insights at scale

LONDON & ONTARIO, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alimentiv, a global full-service GI contract research organization (CRO) providing clinical trials, medical imaging, and precision medicine services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and Dova Health Intelligence™ (formerly Satisfai Health), a Vancouver-based software company focused on the application of artificial intelligence to gastrointestinal disease assessment, are announcing the commercial availability of Dova Health’s DovaVision™, an AI-powered dynamic frame-level Mayo Endoscopic Sub-score (MES) feature analysis solution of endoscopy videos, providing adjunct AI-reads for Phase I through IV UC clinical trials.

With DovaVision™, researchers and sponsors have access to enhanced endoscopic evaluation and interpretation, improving the depth of imaging data generated, leading to deeper insights in UC research and clinical development programs. Dova’s technology was designed and built for purpose using a comprehensive global dataset of anonymized IBD colonoscopy videos, incorporating data labelling and clinical insights from Alimentiv’s global leading central readers and medical experts on IBD disease assessment and scoring within UC clinical trials. “In the era of precision medicine, successful clinical trials require more than central reader generated categorical scores — they need deeper, data-driven insights. With DovaVision™, we’re applying explainable AI to endoscopy video data to reveal additional understanding of gastrointestinal disease activity and treatment response,” said Solveig Johannessen, CEO of Dova Health Intelligence™.

“By detecting and quantifying subtle changes in endoscopic disease activity, DovaVision™ goes beyond manual scoring to deliver consistent, frame-level analysis of UC endoscopy videos. Its raw data outputs can integrate with other clinical datasets, enabling researchers and sponsors to correlate visual imaging biomarkers with patient outcomes to provide mechanistic insights. As a gastroenterologist, I know this will make a big difference in clinical trials,” said Dr. Michael Byrne, founder and chairman of Dova.

“We are very excited to bring this enhanced video analysis capability into Alimentiv’s medical imaging portfolio. In making this exciting new AI technology available for our sponsors, they will continue to lead the industry with more detailed analysis, competitive trial costs, and faster timelines,” said Pierre Gaudreault, CEO, Alimentiv.

DovaVision™ is intended for research use only and is being made available within Alimentiv’s proprietary multi-modal imaging review platform, Notō™, offering a unique end-to-end solution for medical image-based analysis and scoring. DovaVision™ is not a medical device and is not intended to be used by healthcare professionals for clinical decision making, diagnosis, or for the provision of patient care.
