AI app aims to ease bowel troubles for spinal injury patients
NCT ID NCT07369349
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an AI-powered mobile app can help people with spinal cord injury manage bowel dysfunction. About 34 adults will use the app for 12 weeks to see if it reduces bowel problem scores, shortens bathroom time, and improves quality of life. The goal is to make daily bowel care easier and prevent complications.
