Smartphone app to guide bowel preparation for colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a smartphone app that helps you prepare for a colonoscopy by guiding you through the bowel-cleaning process and letting you report how it's going. The app may make preparation easier and improve the quality of the colonoscopy.
