NCT ID NCT07432893
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether nurses using an AI tool can plan care as well as doctors for common problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, fever, and shortness of breath. About 672 adults in rural and semi-urban India will see both a nurse with AI and a doctor, and their visits will be recorded and scored for quality. The goal is to see if AI-assisted nurse care is a safe and acceptable option in places with limited access to doctors.
