Can AI help pregnant patients take charge of their hospital care?
NCT ID NCT07823517
First seen Sep 16, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Sheba Medical Center are testing whether AI-generated medical summaries help pregnant patients hospitalized for high-risk pregnancies feel more informed and involved in their care. Half of the 200 participants receive up to three AI-written summaries of their medical situation, each checked by a doctor before delivery, while the other half receive standard care. The team measures changes in patient activation, how often doctors need to correct the AI summaries, and changes in depression symptoms during the hospital stay.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-generated medical summaries reviewed by a doctor
- What this could lead to
- If it works, hospitals could give pregnant patients clearer, personalized explanations of their care, which may help them feel more in control during a stressful stay.
- What could go wrong
- The summaries might confuse patients or contain errors that doctors must catch. This is a small, single-hospital study, so the results may not apply to other hospitals or patient groups.
