Motilent are back from the American College of Gastroenterology Congress in Philadelphia! Our team had a great time reconnecting with partners and meeting future collaborators from across the field. Our booth was buzzing with conversations, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to engage with so many people across lifesciences, biotechs, and leading academic institutions and community clinics.
Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) excitement! One of the hottest topics at ACG2024 was the increasing focus on Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) and IUS training. The enthusiasm around the Pennsylvania Convention Center was great to see, with many exciting discussions on how this technology is shaping patient care and where It could evolve. While the session lineup may not have fully captured the excitement we experienced it firsthand on the booth! Those who we spoke with about the International Bowel UltraSound (IBUS) Group e-learning platform we'll send over the information when it's available.
The Shift Toward Transmural Healing: It was great to hear the growing conversations around what happens to the bowel beyond mucosal appearance and symptoms, a shift in how we approach IBD care. We’re looking forward to advancing the ways we get patients into long-term remission through monitoring the different aspects of IBD in addition to established tests like endoscopy.
Motility Insights: Though not as high-profile as IUS this year, motility is a favourite topic on the booth for us! We had insightful discussions around motility in the stomach and bowel, exploring ways to quantify movement and look at gastric emptying. Touching on both IBS and other disease areas. A lack of clear care pathways and reimbursement holds back routine use but the need is there and growing with the side effects from GLP1.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth and shared their insights with us! Stay tuned for an announcement tomorrow on where to catch us next!
