AI vs. doctor: which note do patients trust more?
NCT ID NCT07602725
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how patients feel when reading their own medical notes. Some will read the original doctor's note, others will read a simpler version written by artificial intelligence. Researchers want to see if the AI summary changes how much patients trust their doctor or how comfortable they feel. About 135 adults with muscle or bone problems will take part.
