Assessing AI's impact on gaze patterns during colonoscopy

The Influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assisted Polyp Detection (Discovery System) on Visual Gaze Patterns During Real-time Colonoscopy

Observational Radboud University Medical Center · NCT05619614

This study tests how using AI during colonoscopy affects where doctors look while searching for polyps to see if it helps them find more of them.

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates how an artificial intelligence-assisted polyp detection system influences the visual gaze patterns of endoscopists during real-time colonoscopy procedures. By utilizing eye-tracking glasses, the study aims to gather data on the endoscopists' focus and attention while performing colonoscopies. The findings could provide insights into the effectiveness of AI in enhancing polyp detection rates and improving overall colonoscopy outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients referred for diagnostic, screening, or surveillance colonoscopy.

Not a fit: Patients undergoing therapeutic procedures or those with a Boston Bowel Prep Score of less than 6 may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved polyp detection rates during colonoscopy, enhancing early diagnosis of colonic neoplasms.

How similar studies have performed: While the use of AI in medical imaging is gaining traction, this specific approach to assessing gaze patterns during colonoscopy is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
