๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: University of California, Davis

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the use of a generative artificial intelligence large language model chatbot in improving decision making factors in patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the use of an artificial intelligence chatbot have an effect on decisional conflict and anxiety related to decision making? Are changes in decisional conflict correlated with changes in patient reported outcomes? Are changes in decisional conflict correlated with health literacy? Participants will interact with an artificial intelligence chatbot prior to their clinic visit with an orthopaedic surgeon, using a structured prompt.
