Chatbot aims to boost breast cancer screening Follow-Up in underserved women
NCT ID NCT07029490
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a chatbot—a digital tool you can use on a phone or computer—can help women understand their mammogram results and remind them to get follow-up care if needed. Researchers will enroll about 2,700 women who recently had a mammogram, and half will get the chatbot in addition to usual care. The goal is to see if the chatbot improves screening adherence and follow-up testing, especially for underserved communities.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- chatbot
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a simple digital tool helps more women get timely follow-up after abnormal mammograms, potentially improving early detection.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study, not a treatment trial. The chatbot may not change behavior, and results may not apply to all populations.
