First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study at Mayo Clinic will test whether people with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) feel more comfortable talking to an AI avatar or a human clinician before their appointment. About 150 patients will interact with the avatar and then rate their satisfaction. The goal is to see if avatars can improve the pre-visit experience.
