AI bone scanner could save millions from fractures
NCT ID NCT07620834
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an AI system (VeriOsteo OP) can help doctors find osteoporosis earlier in adults aged 40 to 80 who are at high risk. About 1,180 participants will be randomly assigned to get either AI-guided screening or usual care. The goal is to see if AI leads to better bone density and fewer fractures, while also saving healthcare costs.
