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
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Summary

This trial asks whether an AI tool that listens to and transcribes doctor-patient conversations can draft a more complete medical history than a doctor's usual notes. Researchers will compare unedited AI drafts with standard physician-written histories from about 100 emergency department visits. Independent doctors, who do not know which note is which, will review both versions for accuracy and completeness.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
EDnote, an on-premise AI tool that transcribes patient-physician conversations and drafts a history of present illness
What this could lead to
If AI drafts capture more clinical facts, they could support doctors by improving documentation accuracy and saving time in busy emergency departments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center observational study, so results may not apply broadly. AI drafts may miss nuances or contain errors, and the study does not measure patient outcomes.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
