Summary
This study tests a new AI tool called INTERLACE that helps doctors diagnose older adults during primary care visits. The AI uses a patient's medical history, vital signs, and symptoms to suggest possible diagnoses and tests. Researchers want to see if the tool is easy to use and helpful for patients, caregivers, and doctors. The study involves 40 participants and focuses on whether the tool can be smoothly added to a regular doctor visit.
