AI coach for throat scopes: could a computer help new doctors learn faster?
NCT ID NCT07726641
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence system can improve training for novice physicians learning electronic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy, a procedure to examine the throat and voice box. The AI monitors the procedure in real time, highlighting which anatomical areas have been checked. Researchers will compare the performance of doctors trained with the AI assistant against those trained conventionally, using expert ratings of recorded procedures.
