<p>Gastroenterology and hepatology are fields of research that have improved considerably in recent years in terms of clinical approach diagnosis and therapy. However there is still much to be clarified and explored and many questions remain unanswered. Therefore basic research including translational and clinical discoveries supported by technological innovations such as artificial intelligence will enable further steps toward better more refined treatments for many digestive diseases. The challenge of modern medicine will therefore be to connect these two fields to ensure optimal patient management. Further innovations will help clinicians to improve clinical practice establish new guidelines and provide personalized treatment based on patient characteristics.
