ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on collecting images and information from patients undergoing endoscopy, which is a procedure that allows doctors to look inside the body using a flexible tube with a camera. The study aims to gather high-quality photos and videos of any abnormalities found during the procedure, along with details about the size, location, and results of any tissue samples taken for examination. This information will help improve the techniques used in endoscopy and ensure the quality of care provided at UZ Gent.

To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and scheduled for an endoscopy for monitoring, diagnosis, or treatment. You'll be asked to give your consent for the procedure and for the collection of images during it. The trial respects patient privacy, ensuring that no identifying information is shared. The collected data will be used for training healthcare professionals and enhancing the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic procedures. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can expect to contribute to valuable research that could benefit future patients.
