PURPOSE OF PROTOCOL Objective: To evaluate if the speedometer based on the real-time image analysis can help endoscopists increase their withdrawal time, which is defined as time spent examining the colon during withdrawal of the colonoscope, during colonoscopy. Hypothesis: The trial hypothesis is that use of the speedometer during colonoscopy will increase the average withdrawal time, which is defined as time spent examining the colon during withdrawal of the colonoscope, by 1.6 minutes, possibly increasing the performance of the participating endoscopists. Our objective is to clarify the clinical benefits of this digital tool in colonoscopy. Endpoint: Withdrawal time difference between colonoscopies done without the speedometer (control period) and colonoscopies done with the speedometer (intervention period).

We will measure and monitor the withdrawal time of colonoscopy with a speedometer.
Withdrawal time
Withdrawal time difference between colonoscopies done without the speedometer (control period) and colonoscopies done with the speedometer (intervention period).
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Adenoma detection rate (ADR)
Adenoma detection rate (ADR) of the participating endoscopists during the control period and the intervention period.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Quality of colonoscopy
Proportion of colonoscopies with withdrawal time ≥ 6 minutes.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
