AI Diagnostic Support Tool for Diagnosis
(INTERLACE Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
Older adults commonly experience diagnostic errors that may lead to direct harms and increased healthcare costs. Older adults are especially at risk because of higher rates of comorbidity burden, medical complexity, frailty, and cognitive impairment. An artificial intelligence (AI) clinical decision support system (CDSS) offer a promising approach to promote diagnostic excellence for older adults.
The purpose of this study is to assess the acceptability and feasibility of a new AI CDSS for older adults in primary care. The goal of this AI CDSS is to provide diagnostic support during primary care visits (i.e., help make timely and accurate diagnoses) and support communication amongst patients, doctors, and caregivers about the patient's health.
In this study, participants will use the AI CDSS in a primary care visit and review its suggestions for diagnoses and tests. Afterwards, they will complete a feedback survey and interview where they share their thoughts about and experience using the AI CDSS.

Experimental Treatment
All participants will be asked to use INTERLACE in their primary care visit. The tool will be presented on an handheld electronic device and may be used by patients, caregivers, and primary clinicians at each visit. First, the patient will input their current symptoms into INTERLACE. Then, using these symptoms, latest vital signs, and the patient's medical history, INTERLACE will make suggestions for diagnoses and tests. Patients, caregivers, and clinicians can view and discuss these suggestions together to arrive at a potential diagnosis.
