The Efficacy of AI-Driven Feces Identification for Bowel Preparation Prior to Colonoscopy
Taiwan340 participantsStarted 2025-09-04
Plain-language summary
The objective is to enhance diagnostic outcomes by ensuring thorough bowel cleanliness through AI-driven stool identifying system for bowel preparation in subjects undergoing colonoscopy.Colonoscopy is a key procedure for the prevention and early detection of colorectal cancer, with its diagnostic accuracy highly dependent on the quality of bowel preparation. Inadequate bowel cleansing can lead to missed lesions, prolonged procedure times, and the need for repeat examinations. Despite public health efforts that have improved screening rates over the past decade, the adequacy of bowel preparation has remained relatively unchanged, posing a persistent clinical challenge.
With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, deep learning-based image recognition has demonstrated outstanding performance in medical imaging applications. Recent studies have shown that AI can assist in real-time evaluation of stool appearance, providing patients with immediate feedback and personalized instructions to improve bowel preparation quality. Integrating AI systems into bowel cleansing protocols has the potential to enhance patient compliance, optimize bowel cleanliness, and consequently improve the diagnostic yield of colonoscopy.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of an AI-based stool identifying system (AI-SIS), combined with the use of a Prepackaged Low Residue Diet (PLD) and standard bowel preparation instructions. Through a prospective, randomized, evaluator-blind, parallel-group clinical trial design, the study seeks to generate scientific evidence supporting the integration of AI technology into routine bowel preparation practices.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
