AI predicts vomiting in young cancer patients to stop sickness before it starts
NCT ID NCT06886451
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a computer model can predict vomiting in children with cancer who are in the hospital. The model uses each child's medical information to estimate their risk of vomiting in the next 96 hours. Doctors and pharmacists will use this information to give extra anti-nausea medicine early. The goal is to reduce vomiting and improve quality of life for these children.
