AI eye on the colon: can a computer help spot Cancer-Causing polyps?
NCT ID NCT05822895
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence system called GI Genius can help doctors find more polyps during colonoscopy. Polyps are growths that can sometimes turn into cancer. The study will include about 764 adults having a colonoscopy at a hospital in Singapore. Researchers will compare how many polyps doctors find with and without the AI tool.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GI Genius (AI-assisted polyp detection device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that AI helps doctors find more precancerous polyps during colonoscopy, potentially improving colorectal cancer prevention.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less conclusive. The AI system may not work as well in all patient groups or may increase false alarms.

Who is studied
This study will be a single-institution cohort study, conducted over a 2-year period. We will recruit patients prospectively who would have their colonoscopy performed with AI guidance from the GI Genius, which is a standard of care feature in the endoscopy rooms fitted with the GI Genius, and compare it against historical data when the AI technology was not available (Jan 2018-Jan 2021). This historical data has already been collected as part of a published audit performed for SKH's endoscopy. The data collected for this historical cohort are from an anonymised database collected from OTMU (who is not involved in the study).
