NCT ID NCT07406490
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a new computer tool that helps emergency doctors spot patients at high risk for hepatitis C and HIV. The tool uses a machine learning algorithm to analyze patient data and pops up an alert for the doctor. Researchers will compare this targeted screening with universal screening and standard care to see which finds more undiagnosed cases. About 6,466 adults aged 18-79 will take part.
