AI coach for your doctor visit: new study tests if chatbots can boost patient trust
NCT ID NCT07022769
First seen Jun 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an AI-powered reflection tool can help patients with chronic orthopedic conditions (like arthritis or carpal tunnel) think more flexibly about their symptoms and feel more trust in their specialist. 150 adults will be randomly assigned to either use the AI-guided checklist or receive an AI-generated diagnosis. Both groups will share the AI output with their doctor before the visit. The main goal is to see if the reflection tool improves trust and the overall consultation experience.
