Patient recruitment and clinical trial workflow inefficiencies are ongoing challenges for gastrointestinal clinical researchers and drug developers. Through this agreement, Iterative Scopes and Janssen will work together to integrate computational gastroenterology solutions to enhance assessment and interpretation of endoscopic video images, facilitating recruitment of eligible patients for Janssen’s IBD clinical trials. This collaboration has significant potential to addressing the bottlenecks in IBD clinical research, helping identify the right patients for each trial, reducing unnecessary screening costs, and accelerating trials.

"Our team at Iterative Scopes is thrilled to be collaborating with Janssen, to help solve some of the toughest problems facing drug development for Inflammatory Bowel Disease with artificial intelligence," said Jonathan Ng, Founder and CEO of Iterative Scopes.

Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JJDC, Inc., the strategic venture capital arm of Johnson & Johnson, participated with other investors in Iterative Scopes’ $30 million Series A financing, which closed in August 2021, as well as their $150 million Series B financing, which closed in December 2021.
