NCT ID NCT07618273
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app called Smart Symptom Tracking ALEX can help young adults (ages 18-44) track gastrointestinal symptoms better than traditional paper logs. The app uses artificial intelligence to provide reminders, coaching, and education. Researchers want to see if the app improves how well people report symptoms and communicate with their doctors, which could lead to earlier detection of colorectal cancer. The trial involves 50 participants over four weeks.
