NCT ID NCT07742618

First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether an AI-assisted documentation tool (an 'AI scribe') can help nurses by reducing time spent on record-keeping. About 400 nurses from child and student health services in a Finnish region will adopt the tool at different times, allowing comparison between early and later users. The study looks at effects on working hours, completion of health check-ups, and nurses' job satisfaction and workload.
