Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to investigate the knowledge, experience, and opinion on AI among gastroenterology (GI) patients, gastroenterologists, and GI-fellows, particularly concerning implementation and application of AI (in assisting clinicians) in healthcare. The secondary aims are to investigate (dis)advantages of AI use in healthcare and the availability of technical facilities and infrastructures within endoscopy to implement and apply AI in Dutch hospitals.


Clinical Trial Description

In recent years, important developments have been made in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). These developments have led to the large-scale application of AI in our everyday lives and AI-research within healthcare. A potentially promising application of AI lies in imaging analysis. For example, within gastroenterology this means the detection and classification of colorectal polyps and Barrett's neoplasia, disease severity scoring of inflammatory bowel diseases, and differentiating pancreatic cancer from chronic pancreatitis. Despite the investments in AI-research, there is a lack in knowledge concerning patients' and physicians' perspectives on AI in healthcare. This prospective questionnaire study investigates these perspectives, obtaining data from both gastroenterology (GI) patients and GI-physicians within the Netherlands. The questionnaires focus on the knowledge, experience, and opinion of AI, particularly concerning the implementation of AI in (gastroenterology) healthcare. Furthermore, the current (endoscopic) infrastructure within Dutch hospitals will be investigated for its readnessy for AI. ;
