Can a smarter AI display help doctors make better diagnoses?

NCT ID NCT07457840

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether showing AI predictions as a shift from a doctor's own initial guess (Bayesian update) improves diagnostic accuracy compared to showing raw AI probabilities. About 100 healthcare professionals will review 8 simulated patient cases involving chest pain or shortness of breath. The goal is to see if this approach helps doctors make more accurate diagnoses and trust the AI more, even when the AI is misleading.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Bayesian-updated post-test probability display

What this could lead to

If successful, this could improve how doctors use AI tools to make more accurate diagnoses.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study using simulated cases, not real patients. Results may not translate to actual clinical settings.
