What this trial studies
This multicenter cluster-randomized study assesses how an artificial intelligence (AI) tool affects the satisfaction of healthcare professionals and patients during outpatient consultations. It compares the experiences of adult patients using the AI tool with those receiving standard care, measuring satisfaction through visual analog scales and validated questionnaires. The study also examines the duration of consultations and the quality of clinical data recorded. Recruitment will occur from December 2024 to May 2025, with results expected by the end of 2025.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult patients aged 18 to 80 who are consulting for any health reason in participating outpatient clinics.
Not a fit: Patients who cannot understand or complete the questionnaires due to language barriers or cognitive disabilities may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance patient and healthcare professional satisfaction while improving the efficiency of clinical data recording.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with AI tools in healthcare settings, indicating potential for success in this approach.
