Mobile App Enhances Bowel Preparation Compliance and Quality for Colonoscopy

A mobile app for bowel preparation training outperformed standard instructions in ensuring compliance and quality among colonoscopy patients. In a trial of 160 adults, those using the app achieved a 94.9% adequacy rate compared to 83.8% for the control group. Compliance with dietary protocols also surged, and patients reported fewer difficulties. Anxiety levels, however, remained unchanged between groups. The results underscore the potential of mobile health tools in improving pre-procedural education.
