Using real-time feedback to enhance colonoscopy quality
Real-Time Feedback (RTFB) to Improve Colonoscopy
NA · University of Minnesota · NCT05241210
This study is testing whether an AI program that gives real-time feedback can help doctors do better colonoscopies and find more cases of colorectal cancer.

What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence program that provides real-time feedback during colonoscopy procedures. By integrating this technology, the researchers hope to improve the quality of endoscopic examinations, potentially leading to better detection rates of colorectal cancer. The study will involve endoscopists who are performing routine colonoscopies and will assess the impact of the AI feedback on their performance. There are no exclusion criteria, allowing for broad participation among qualified endoscopists.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are endoscopists who perform routine colonoscopy procedures.
Not a fit: Patients who are not undergoing colonoscopy or those who are not involved in the endoscopic examination process may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved detection and prevention of colorectal cancer through enhanced colonoscopy procedures.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of AI in medical procedures is gaining traction, this specific approach of real-time feedback during colonoscopy is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
