First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether using a conversational AI to collect medical history can make people with depression feel more understood by their doctors. About 130 adults with moderate to severe depression will try the AI at home before a regular visit and rate how empathetic the experience felt. The goal is to see if this approach improves communication and care without replacing the doctor.
