Can an AI assistant make your Pre-Surgery visit more satisfying?
NCT ID NCT07743320
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether an AI-powered physician assistant can improve satisfaction for both patients and doctors in anesthesia clinics. Patients are randomly assigned to either standard care or to interact with the AI app before their consultation, which generates a clinical summary for the physician. The study measures patient satisfaction with wait time and care, as well as physician satisfaction with workflow. It aims to see if this digital intake improves the overall clinic experience.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-powered physician assistant application that collects patient history and generates clinical summaries for physicians before consultations
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this AI tool could make clinic visits more efficient and satisfying for both patients and doctors, potentially improving the quality of care in hospital settings.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with a modest sample size, so results may not apply broadly. The AI's impact on satisfaction could be limited by technical issues or patient preferences.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
