In a groundbreaking peer-reviewed study published in Cureus, gastroenterologist Dr. Adewale Ajumobi and co-author Akash Patel evaluated the reliability of ChatGPT-4 in offering pre-colonoscopy instructions. The research posed 25 patient-style questions to ChatGPT, covering bowel prep, medication adjustments, and dietary guidelines—critical areas where patient confusion often derails procedures.
The results? ChatGPT-4’s responses aligned 100% with clinical guidelines from leading global medical societies, including ESGE, USMSTF, ACG-CAG, ASGE, ACC-AHA, and ADS. It consistently recommended appropriate timing, prep steps, and medication protocols, demonstrating its potential as a dependable digital educator for GI patients.
