Built by a gastroenterologist who kept watching patients fall through the gap.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. It is also one of the most preventable cancers in medicine. A single colonoscopy can find and remove precancerous polyps before they become cancer — in the same procedure, in the same hour, with no second visit required.

As a practicing gastroenterologist, I performed these procedures every day. I saw the polyps. I removed them. I documented the follow-up interval in my notes. I told patients — clearly — that they needed to return in five years, or three, or ten.

And then, years later, I would see a patient present with something that could have been caught — should have been caught — at exactly the follow-up visit they never came to. Not because they refused. Not because they didn't care. Because the system had no mechanism to remind them. The recommendation was in a note. The note was in a chart. The chart was waiting for a patient who didn't know to call.

Clinics face the same failure from the other side. A practice that performed five thousand colonoscopies this year has five thousand patients who will need follow-up — in one year, in three years, in five, in ten. There is no unified system to track who is due. There is no tool to surface that demand before it disappears. Administrative staff are managing recall lists by hand, or not at all.

ClearPath GI is the infrastructure I wished existed when I was in practice. An independent reminder system that patients enroll in voluntarily. A demand visibility layer that organizations can query without compromising patient privacy. A consent-first scheduling coordination channel that connects the two — only when the patient is ready.

The technology is not the hard part. The hard part is building trust — from patients who are rightfully skeptical about where their health data goes, and from organizations that need compliance certainty before they can participate. ClearPath GI is designed to earn that trust at every step.
