Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Traditional pre-colonoscopy counselling requires significant time from healthcare workers to explain procedures, limiting efficiency and patient turnover. Inadequate bowel preparation exacerbates this issue, leading to repeat procedures and increased costs. However, no study has yet evaluated the effectiveness of AI in improving the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) for colonoscopy preparation. By addressing this gap, AI chatbots could provide personalized guidance, reduce healthcare worker burden, improve preparation quality, and enhance patient experience.This research attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of using Artificial intelligence (AI) chat bot to improve bowel preparation, anxiety level and patient's satisfaction among colonoscopy patients in Hospital Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM), compared to conventional instructions
