Core Tip
Core Tip: This prospective, multicenter study demonstrates that an intestinal network monitoring system based on the WeChat platform significantly improves the quality of bowel preparation for colonoscopy. Compared to conventional oral and written education, the network monitoring system effectively reduces patients’ anxiety and depression, enhances compliance, increases the quality of bowel cleansing (as measured by Boston Bowel Preparation Scale), and improves polyp detection rates, while also reducing adverse events. The findings suggest that integrating digital health tools into routine clinical practice can optimize patient outcomes and procedural efficiency in gastrointestinal endoscopy.
