Summary

This trial tests whether a specially designed AI interface can help people without medical training assess the urgency of health scenarios and identify possible conditions. Participants use either a standard AI tool or one that prompts them with targeted questions before giving structured, easy-to-read advice. The goal is to see if this approach improves accuracy compared to typical web searches or standard AI use.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a safer way for the public to use AI for medical triage and diagnosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in a university setting, so results may not apply to the general population. The AI may still give incorrect or misleading advice.
