Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (age 18 or older) undergoing colonoscopy at the participating center who have at least one colorectal polyp detected and a recorded optical prediction are eligible.
✕Probably not a fit
People without any polyps at colonoscopy, patients under 18, or anyone whose polyp histology is not available will not benefit from the study findings directly.

What this trial studies
COLO-PREDICT is a prospective, single-center observational study examining whether a structured digital training program (Colo-ID) improves real-world optical histology predictions of colorectal polyps. Adult patients having a colonoscopy with at least one detected polyp are consecutively included and the endoscopist records an optical prediction for each polyp during the procedure. All polyps are removed per routine care and sent for histopathology, which serves as the reference standard to compare against the recorded optical predictions. The study does not change patient management or surveillance intervals and aims to measure diagnostic accuracy before and after the training intervention in everyday clinical practice.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could help clinicians more accurately identify polyp type during colonoscopy, potentially reducing unnecessary pathology testing and streamlining follow-up decisions.
How similar studies have gone: Prior research has shown that targeted training and enhanced imaging can improve optical diagnosis performance, but variability remains and digital, app-based training approaches are relatively new.
