What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the performance of Gixam, a device that captures images of the tongue to predict the presence of precancerous polyps in the colon or rectum using artificial intelligence. The study targets individuals aged 45-85 who are scheduled for a screening colonoscopy. By comparing tongue images from healthy individuals and those with a history of polyps, the device aims to provide a non-invasive screening method for colorectal cancer. The ultimate goal is to enhance early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer through innovative technology.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a non-invasive screening method for early detection of colorectal cancer, potentially saving lives.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of artificial intelligence in medical imaging is gaining traction, this specific approach using tongue images for colorectal cancer screening is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
