AI app aims to clean up colonoscopy prep
NCT ID NCT07453056
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether an AI-powered app can help people clean their bowels better before a colonoscopy. Poor bowel prep can cause doctors to miss polyps or cancer. The app gives real-time feedback on stool appearance. 340 adults will be randomly assigned to use the app or just get standard instructions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-driven stool identifying system (AI-SIS) app
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could make colonoscopies more accurate by helping patients prepare better, leading to fewer missed polyps and cancers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study. The AI app may not improve bowel cleanliness significantly, and results may not apply to all patients.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
