What this trial studies

This randomized study assigns 140 hospitalized adults scheduled for colonoscopy to either standard nursing education or standard education plus a multimodal AI-powered LINE app. The app provides structured instructions, interactive AI chat support, and image-based feedback for meals and stool to help optimize bowel cleansing. Outcomes include knowledge about bowel prep, satisfaction with education, and bowel cleansing quality assessed by the Aronchick scale. The study aims to determine whether AI-assisted, image-enabled guidance improves preparation quality and patient experience.
