NCT ID NCT07520123
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an AI-powered assistant (Union-Agent) designed to encourage people with chronic hepatitis B who have been diagnosed but not yet treated to start antiviral medication. The study will enroll 2000 adults in China who are eligible for treatment but haven't started. The AI provides education, medication reminders, symptom tracking, and referral suggestions. The goal is to see if this approach can increase the number of patients who begin antiviral therapy within six months by at least 50% compared to current rates.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that an AI assistant can significantly increase the number of hepatitis B patients who start antiviral treatment, helping more people manage their condition.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with no control group, so improvements may be due to other factors. The AI tool requires smartphone use, which may not work for all patients.
