Stroke Clinical Trial - Artificial Intelligence-powered Virtual Assistant

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study examines the use of an AI-powered virtual assistant for quickly identifying and handling neurological emergencies, particularly in places with limited medical resources. The research aimed to check if this AI tool is safe and accurate enough to move on to more advanced testing stages. In a first-of-its-kind trial, the virtual assistant was tested with patients having urgent neurological issues. Neurologists first reviewed the AI's recommendations using clinical records and then assessed its performance directly with patients. The findings were as follows: neurologists agreed with the AI's decisions nearly all the time, and the AI outperformed earlier versions of Chat GPT in every tested aspect. Patients and doctors found the AI to be highly effective, rating it as excellent or very good in most cases. This suggests the AI could significantly enhance how quickly and accurately neurological emergencies are dealt with, although further trials are needed before it can be widely used.

Clinical Trial Description

Background and Objectives: Neurological emergencies pose significant challenges in medical care, especially in resource-limited countries. Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly health chatbots, offers a promising solution. However, rigorous validation is required to ensure safety and accuracy. The objective of our work is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and resolution effectiveness of an AI-powered virtual assistant designed for the triage of emergency neurological pathologies, to ensure the minimum standard of safety that allows for the progression to successive validation tests. Methods: This Phase 1 trial evaluates the performance of an AI-powered virtual assistant for emergency neurological triage. Ten patients over 18 years old with urgent neurological pathologies were selected. In the first stage, nine neurologists assessed the safety of the virtual assistant using their clinical records. In the second part, the assistant's accuracy when used by patients was evaluated. Finally, its performance was compared with Chat GPT 3.5 and 4. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
