Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults (18+) with basic education who can use a smartphone or computer and are presenting for a first neurology consultation.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not benefit may be those not using AI tools or those for whom the AI guidance does not improve consultation reliability.

What this trial studies

In this randomized trial, participants will be assigned to either receive a short 3-minute six-dimension education before using ChatGPT for a neurology consultation or go straight to using ChatGPT without the education. The 3M-6D framework guides patients to describe six key aspects of their symptoms to improve the reliability of the AI assistant. All participants interact with ChatGPT in natural language to obtain medical consultation assistance. The study is conducted at three Beijing-area hospitals and involves adults presenting with neurologic symptoms for their first current visit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience more accurate AI-assisted medical consultations and clearer symptom descriptions.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work has explored AI-assisted medical consultations, with mixed results; this study tests a specific structured patient education approach.
