AI vs. doctors: can chatbots predict heart risks before surgery?
NCT ID NCT07395713
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether artificial intelligence models, like ChatGPT, can accurately predict if a patient needs a cardiology consultation before non-cardiac surgery. Researchers will compare AI recommendations to expert anesthesiologist evaluations using 2024 heart guidelines. The study involves 183 adults scheduled for surgery and aims to see if AI can help streamline preoperative care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Artificial intelligence models (ChatGPT, Copilot, Deepseek, Grok, Claude, Gemini)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that AI can help doctors decide when a cardiology consult is needed before surgery, potentially saving time and resources.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, observational study with only 183 participants. AI recommendations are not used in real patient care, and results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.
