NCT ID NCT06818734
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a computer tool that uses artificial intelligence to alert doctors when a pregnant patient may be at high risk for postpartum depression. The tool gives doctors a risk score and suggests steps like referrals or educational materials. Researchers will ask 160 pregnant women and their doctors whether the tool is helpful, easy to use, and practical in real clinic settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Clinical decision support tool (AI algorithm)
What this could lead to
If successful, this tool could help doctors spot postpartum depression risk earlier and connect mothers to support sooner.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on whether doctors find the tool useful, not yet on whether it actually prevents depression. The tool only alerts doctors—it doesn't guarantee any action or better outcomes.
