Chatbot boosts doctor trust in AI for bleeding emergencies?
NCT ID NCT05816473
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding a chatbot interface makes doctors more likely to trust and use an AI tool that predicts risk in patients with upper stomach bleeding. 108 medical residents participated in simulated emergency scenarios, some using the AI alone and others using the AI with a chatbot. The goal was to measure changes in trust and usability, not to treat real patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Large Language Model (LLM) chatbot interface
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show how to design AI tools that doctors trust and actually use in emergencies like stomach bleeding.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small simulation study with 108 residents, not real patients. Results may not translate to actual hospital settings or other user groups.
