AI app aims to speed up labor decisions for doctors and nurses
NCT ID NCT07720531
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether an AI-based mobile application can help obstetricians and nurses make faster, more accurate clinical decisions during normal labor. Around 427 healthcare providers at a university hospital will either use the app or follow standard care. Researchers will measure decision-making speed, diagnostic accuracy, and provider satisfaction to see if the app improves care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an AI-based mobile application for clinical decision support during normal labor
- What this could lead to
- If the app improves decision speed and accuracy, it could offer a scalable tool to support maternity care in busy hospitals.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on provider experience, not patient outcomes. The app may not improve care in real-world settings or may introduce errors.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria Participants must meet the following conditions to be included in the study: 1. Healthcare providers (obstetricians and nurses) currently working in the Labor Kiosk, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, or Outpatient Gynecology Clinics at Mansoura University Hospital. 2. Direct involvement in the care and supervision of women in active labor. 3. For the intervention group: previous exposure to and use of the AI-based smart normal labor application for a minimum defined period (e.g., 1 month). 4. For the control group: no prior use of the AI-based application, following standard care practices. 5. Willingness to participate and provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria Participants will be excluded if they: 1. Are healthcare providers not directly involved in labor management (e.g., administrative staff or laboratory personnel). 2.
