AI could spot hidden bowel disease years earlier, new study hopes
NCT ID NCT07590271
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help doctors identify inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) earlier and more accurately. Researchers will analyze medical records from 4,500 patients to see how well the AI's suggestions match actual diagnoses. The goal is to speed up diagnosis and improve long-term outcomes for people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
