NCT ID NCT07647159
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested an AI voice assistant that listens to conversations between neurologists and patients, then automatically fills out electronic medical records. Researchers timed 320 visits with and without the AI to see if it saved doctors time and improved patient care. The goal is to reduce paperwork so doctors can spend more time with patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-based voice assistant software
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could reduce paperwork for neurologists, giving them more time to focus on patients during visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 5 doctors in Moscow. The AI may not work as well in other languages or settings, and it might not save time in real-world use.
