Chatbot could spot cancer risk in routine checkups
NCT ID NCT07130487
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a chatbot can help primary care patients learn about their hereditary cancer risk. About 210 adults from Rutgers Health will use a digital tool to answer questions and get education. Those found to be at high risk will be offered genetic counseling and testing. The goal is to see how many people complete the assessment and follow through with next steps.
