Title: A mobile app to improve adherence to colorectal cancer screening and post polypectomy
surveillance guidelines
Version: 3 Date: 07 Feb 2025
Reviewer's report:
This is a very good, well written retrospective analysis describing usage of mobile app helping
healthcare professionals to apply correct (according to regional guidelines) decisions concerning
commencing method of CRC screening, time of commencing it as well as post-polypectomy
surveillance intervals. Authors have proven that the app was widely accepted and used, that
allowed for correction of decisions concerning screening and surveillance. This app in my
opinion deserves to be used in other regions and countries modified if necessary for local
guidelines.
That’s why I think the manuscript needs to provide additional methodological information, e.g.:
how healthcare professionals were informed about the app, was the usage of the app anyhow
linked to reimbursement for procedures, how the GDPR rules were fulfilled for using the app
professionals.
Another minor issue is the list of authors on the title page (probably will be corrected by editors
when study is accepted) – there are currently different formats for different authors.
