Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

Researchers are testing an AI-powered clinical decision support system for primary care. Adult patients complete a self-report assessment before a routine visit, and the system turns their answers into a short Companion Brief for the treating clinician. A principal investigator reviews each brief before it reaches the doctor. The study measures whether the system can reliably produce and deliver these briefs, whether clinicians find them useful, and whether patients can complete the pre-visit survey.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an AI-powered clinical decision support system that generates a clinician-facing Companion Brief
What this could lead to
If it works, primary care doctors could get a quick, structured summary of a patient's anxiety and depression symptoms before a visit, which may help them start the right conversation sooner.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm pilot with 100 patients and no comparison group, so it cannot prove the briefs improve diagnosis or outcomes. The system may produce briefs that clinicians find unhelpful, or patients may not complete the pre-visit survey.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult, aged 18 years or older at the time of consent. * Scheduled for a routine, non-urgent primary care visit at a participating practice. * Able to read and understand English at a level sufficient to complete the electronic informed consent and Survey 0.1 independently. * Has personal-device access to complete the survey (smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet). * Capable of providing informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Non-English-speaking, defined as inability to read English at a level sufficient to complete electronic informed consent and the survey independently. * Visually impaired to a degree that prevents independent reading of an electronic consent form on a personal device, without specialized assistive technology beyond standard mobile-device accessibility features. * Unable to read for any reason (literacy, cognitive impairment, or other). * Presenting with an acute psychiatric emergency or in acute crisis at the time of the scheduled visit, as identified by clinic staff during routine check-in. * Patient is a known minor at the time of scheduling (under 18 years). * Patient or clinician declines participation.
