Health Informatics J. 2024 Oct-Dec;30(4):14604582241296072. doi: 10.1177/14604582241296072.

Abstract

Objective: Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) solutions into clinical practice, particularly in the field of video capsule endoscopy (VCE), necessitates the execution of rigorous clinical studies. Methods: This work introduces a novel software platform tailored to facilitate the conduct of multi-reader multi-case clinical studies in VCE. The platform, developed as a web application, prioritizes remote accessibility to accommodate multi-center studies. Notably, considerable attention was devoted to user interface and user experience design elements to ensure a seamless and engaging interface. To evaluate the usability of the platform, a pilot study is conducted. Results: The results indicate a high level of usability and acceptance among users, providing valuable insights into the expectations and preferences of gastroenterologists navigating AI-driven VCE solutions. Conclusion: This research lays a foundation for future advancements in AI integration within clinical VCE practice.

Keywords: artificial intelligence impact; multi–reader multi–case study; system usability scale; video capsule endoscopy; web application.
