AI camera and microphone could revolutionize doctor training on hospital wards
NCT ID NCT07649772
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new AI system that uses both a camera and microphone to automatically document hospital ward rounds and give feedback to medical trainees. The goal is to see if it saves time, improves training, and is acceptable to patients and doctors. About 60 medical trainees and adult inpatients will take part, and all AI-generated notes must be reviewed by a doctor before being used.
