Background And Aims: Inadequate bowel preparation which occurs in 25% of colonoscopies is a major barrier to the effectiveness of screening for colorectal cancer. We aim to develop an artificial intelligence (machine learning) algorithm to assess photos of stool output after bowel preparation to predict inadequate bowel preparation before colonoscopy.

Methods: Patients were asked to text a photo of their stool in the commode when they believed that they neared completion of their colonoscopy bowel preparation.
