NCT ID NCT05562778
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a smartphone chatbot to usual care for collecting family history and identifying women at high risk for hereditary cancer syndromes. Participants are English-speaking gynecology patients aged 18 and older who have not had prior genetic testing. The goal is to see if the chatbot can increase the number of high-risk patients who are recommended for and complete genetic testing, especially in underserved communities.
