The goal of this study is to look at how good artificial intelligence (AI) assisted colonoscopy is compared to conventional colonoscopy in detecting polyps when used by gastroenterology fellows. The main question the study aims to answer are:
Does AI assisted colonoscopy improve adenoma detection rate for gastroenterology fellows in different levels of training? Does AI assisted colonoscopy improve other quality indicators such as sessile serrated lesion detection rate withdrawal time? This research will compare these quality measures for gastroenterology fellows in their first, second, and third year of training. The gastroenterology fellows performing colonoscopies will be randomized to either AI assisted colonoscopy or conventional colonoscopy for each case. The nurse in the room will then turn on the AI device if needed and the rest of the colonoscopy will be completed as normal. The procedure notes will indicated whether AI device was used or not during the procedure.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* All adult gastroenterology fellows at the University of Oklahoma, except for the fellow conducting research will be included in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
* All patients undergoing colonoscopy for genetic cancer syndromes (ex: polyposis), inflammatory bowel disease, for therapy of known neoplasms or undergoing non-colonoscopy screening tests (fecal immunochemical test, CT colonography) will be excluded from this study.
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.
