  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Inclusion Criteria The study will include adults aged 18 years and above who have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes but have not previously been screened for DR. Participants must demonstrate good compliance with clinical examinations, and provide informed consent.

Exclusion criteria The study will exclude patients who have previously been diagnosed with DR, those who have recently undergone eye surgery, and those with other significant eye diseases that could potentially confound the results of DR screening. Individuals with ocular, auditory, or cognitive impairments that prevent the use of mobile phones or reading will also be excluded.

About this study

With the increase in population and the rising prevalence of various diseases, the workload of disease diagnosis has sharply increased. The accessibility of healthcare services and long waiting times have become common issues in the public health medical system, with many primary patients having to wait for extended periods to receive medical services. There is an urgent need for rapid, accurate, and low-cost diagnostic services.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • A self-evlaution tool based on Large Language ModelOther

    Following the baseline assessment, participants will be guided to use a self-evaluation tool independently to assess their risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR). This tool is a fusion of a conversational AI system based on LLM and an existing logistic diagnostic model.

    The AI system is designed to collect clinical variables, including age, duration of diabetes, Body Mass Index (BMI), and insulin usage. Additionally, clinical test data such as mean arterial pressure, HbA1c, serum creatinine, and microalbuminuria will be extracted from a local dataset using the patient's name and ID. Once collected, these data will be transmitted to a server-based diagnostic model for further analysis to determine the presence of DR.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
A self-evlaution tool based on Large Language ModelExperimentalThe self-evlaution tool, powered by a large language model, processes user queries through a comprehensive generation, decision, action, and safety framework to deliver optimal responses. The system's key features include retrieval-augmented in-context learning, which enhances the responses generated by sourcing information from reliable websites. It also incorporates a Guardrail module to mitigate potential harmful content in the responses by validating the content before delivery. Additionally, the system features a Self-checking memory module that maintains essential clinical characteristics across multi-turn dialogues, ensuring consistent and continuous interactions with users.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing A self-evlaution tool based on Large Language Model in people with Diagnosis and Diabetic Retinopathy, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

AUROC of the self-evaluation tool (time frame: Immediately after using the chatbot). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jan 2024.
