Summary

This study uses natural language processing, a type of artificial intelligence, to analyze how patients describe their stomach and gut symptoms. Researchers hope to find patterns that help diagnose functional gastrointestinal disorders more accurately. The study will enroll 700 adults at Massachusetts General Hospital who are either seeing a gastroenterologist or having a diagnostic endoscopy. Participants' conversations will be audio-recorded and analyzed by machine learning.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new, more accurate way to diagnose functional gastrointestinal disorders using patients' own words.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study, so the technology may not prove reliable enough for clinical use. It also only includes English speakers, limiting generalizability.
