Does seeing a doctor shake your trust in AI? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07631585
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tracks 180 orthopedic patients in Cyprus to see if a single doctor visit changes how much they trust AI health information. Patients fill out surveys before and after their appointment, and doctors also report on the accuracy of any AI advice patients brought up. The goal is to understand how real-life medical consultations influence trust in AI and reduce anxiety.
