NCT ID NCT07131709

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether patients are satisfied with an AI notetaker that summarizes their doctor's appointment. 191 adults completed questionnaires before and after their GP visit. Some received an AI summary of the appointment, some got a summary plus a next-steps plan, and others got standard care. The goal was to understand patient trust and satisfaction with AI in primary care.
