ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how an automatic surveillance system can help monitor patients who have had polyps removed from their colon, a procedure known as postpolypectomy. The researchers want to see if using this smart system improves the rate at which patients get the follow-up care they need compared to traditional methods. Participants will be divided into three groups: one will use the automatic system, another will receive manual reminders, and the third will have no specific reminders at all. The goal is to find out which method works best for ensuring patients stay on track with their follow-up appointments.

To be eligible for this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and have had a colonoscopy. However, some individuals won't qualify, such as those without clear test results, those who can't be contacted, or those with certain health conditions. If you join the study, you'll be monitored based on the group you are assigned to. It's important to know that the trial isn’t recruiting participants yet, so there will be more information available as the study progresses.
