Snap a pic, skip the mess: AI app may predict colonoscopy readiness
NCT ID NCT07337694
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a smartphone app that uses artificial intelligence to assess bowel preparation quality from patient-taken photos. About 524 adults undergoing colonoscopy will either use the app or receive standard care. If the app detects poor prep, it alerts staff to offer rescue steps, aiming to improve colonoscopy success rates.
