AI could shorten the long road to a rare disease diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07650799
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a special AI system can help doctors diagnose rare diseases more accurately and efficiently. About 1,000 people with suspected rare or hard-to-diagnose conditions will take part. Before seeing the doctor, the AI will gather the patient's medical history and suggest possible diagnoses for the physician to review. The goal is to see if this AI assistance improves diagnostic quality and reduces the time and cost of finding the right diagnosis.
