Summary

This study tests a mobile app that gives personalized instructions for colonoscopy preparation, including diet and laxative timing. About 470 people aged 50-69 in a colorectal cancer screening program will use the app or standard instructions. The goal is to see if the app helps patients follow prep steps correctly, leading to cleaner colons and better detection of precancerous growths.
