Trial Completed: Evaluating an Artificial Intelligence Tool to Help Primary Care Doctors Diagnose Skin Conditions. (NCT07428941)

Researchers completed a study testing whether an artificial intelligence tool can help regular doctors better diagnose skin conditions. The AI was designed to reduce mistakes and unnecessary specialist referrals by giving primary care doctors better information about skin problems like melanoma, psoriasis, and other conditions. With only 9 participants, this was a small early-stage study to see if the technology works.
