ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how artificial intelligence (AI) can help improve conversations between doctors and families of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Right now, doctors spend a lot of time writing notes after talking with families, which can take time away from caring for patients. The trial will see if AI can quickly create easy-to-understand summaries of these conversations, making it easier for doctors to document and for families to grasp important medical information.

To participate in the study, families must have a loved one admitted to the adult ICU, and all family members involved in the conversation must be 18 years or older and able to speak Dutch. All participants, including family members and healthcare professionals, will need to sign consent forms to take part. If you decide to participate, you can expect to be part of a conversation where the AI helps summarize what is discussed, potentially making it less stressful and more informative for everyone involved.
