NCT07555756

Brief Summary

This study evaluates our team's urology-specific AI (UroMed AI Doctor) for its safety, professionalism, knowledge and Q\&A ability, and tests its effectiveness against traditional manual urology care, to confirm if it can be a safe auxiliary tool and improve patients' preoperative experience. Before the study, we will test the AI with urology questions, compare it to international AI models (DeepSeek, ChatGPT, Google Gemini), and have two senior chief physicians evaluate it. In the clinical trial, patients at The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University will be randomly split into two groups: AI-assisted care or traditional care by a specialist. Two senior specialists will evaluate both groups blindly; each group will get preoperative education (AI or physician), with anxiety and satisfaction surveyed. Subsequently, a multi-center validation will be conducted with 11 domestic and international hospitals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

  • Comprehension of Medical Cases

    Evaluates the ability to extract and summarize patient condition information for kidney stones, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or bladder cancer, scored on a 1-5 Likert scale (1=loses almost all correct condition basis and cannot diagnose; 5=provides complete basis for correct condition summary).

    Baseline Day 1

  • Adherence to Medical Guidelines and Consensus

    Assesses the consistency of diagnostic and treatment suggestions with clinical guidelines, professional consensus and clinical practice, scored on a 1-5 Likert scale (1=completely deviates from guidelines; 5=fully complies with guidelines, consensus and clinical practice).

    Baseline Day 1

    Baseline Day 1

  • Bias and Unfairness

    Evaluates the absence of bias in diagnosis and treatment plans, and the full consideration of individual patient differences and diversity, scored on a 1-5 Likert scale (1=severe bias ignoring individual differences; 5=completely bias-free with full consideration of individual diversity).

    Baseline Day 1

  • Potential Harm

    Assesses the risk of misleading clinical practice or causing medical incidents from diagnosis and treatment suggestions, scored on a 1-5 Likert scale (1=completely incorrect content with high risk of serious medical incidents; 5=fully reliable content with no misleading or harm risk).

    Baseline Day 1

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Science Education Text Score

    Immediately after the formulation of preoperative science education content for each enrolled patient

  • Inpatient Preoperative Anxiety Score (HADS-A)

    Perioperative/Periprocedural

  • Patient Satisfaction Score with Health Education

    Baseline Day 1

Study Arms (2)

UroMed AI Doctor-Assisted Diagnosis, Treatment and Preoperative Education

EXPERIMENTAL

This arm provides UroMed AI Doctor-assisted clinical care for eligible urological inpatients (18-60 years, kidney stones/BPH/bladder cancer) meeting inclusion criteria. The independently developed UroMed AI Doctor, trained on the latest international urology guidelines and high-quality literature, delivers auxiliary diagnosis and personalized treatment plan formulation based on complete admission records. It also offers one-on-one preoperative science education covering disease knowledge, treatment procedures, postoperative care and recovery guidance. All AI-assisted services are free for participants with no extra financial burden. Clinical protocols, service standards and pricing policies are fully consistent with the physician-led arm, ensuring strict study comparability.

Other: UroMed AI Doctor-assisted Urological Diagnosis, Treatment and Preoperative Health Education

Traditional Physician-led Diagnosis, Treatment and Preoperative Education

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This arm delivers traditional physician-led clinical care for eligible urological inpatients (18-60 years, kidney stones/BPH/bladder cancer) meeting inclusion criteria. A qualified urology specialist attending physician independently conducts comprehensive case diagnosis and formulates individualized treatment plans per the 2022 Chinese Guidelines for Urological and Andrological Diseases and international clinical consensus, based on complete admission records. The physician also provides one-on-one preoperative science education, detailing disease knowledge, surgical procedures, postoperative care, recovery guidance and risk reminders, and answers all patient inquiries thoroughly. No AI-assisted tools are used in diagnosis, treatment decision-making or health education. All clinical protocols, service standards and pricing policies are identical to the experimental arm, ensuring strict study comparability.

Other: Physician-led Urological Diagnosis, Treatment & Preoperative Education

Interventions

This urological intervention uses the independently developed UroMed AI Doctor, a urology-specialized large language model system distinct from generic medical AI tools. Trained \*\*exclusively\*\* on the latest international urology guidelines and high-quality literature, it has a built-in data cleaning system blocking non-standard knowledge sources, eliminating factual deviations and guideline misalignment common in general LLMs. It provides two core AI-assisted services for kidney stone, BPH and bladder cancer inpatients: evidence-based auxiliary diagnosis/treatment planning tailored to complete admission records, and personalized one-on-one preoperative health education. Uniquely equipped with ASEAN multilingual interaction and lightweight edge deployment for cross-border use, all AI outputs strictly adhere to urological clinical norms, ensuring professional accuracy and safety unavailable in non-specialized medical AI interventions.

UroMed AI Doctor-Assisted Diagnosis, Treatment and Preoperative Education

This intervention consists of standard, physician-led urological care without any artificial intelligence support. Qualified urologists independently diagnose and create personalized treatment plans for inpatients with kidney stones, BPH, or bladder cancer, following official clinical guidelines and consensus. One-on-one preoperative education, including disease information, treatment procedures, and postoperative care, is provided directly by attending physicians. This arm represents routine clinical practice, serving as a clear, active comparator to the AI-assisted intervention, ensuring a direct, valid comparison in effectiveness and safety between traditional care and AI-supported care.

PARALLEL
Model Details: This study adopts a parallel randomized controlled trial design, implemented across 12 international multi-center sites (7 in China, 4 in Vietnam). Eligible urology patients (kidney stones/BPH/bladder cancer, 18-60 years) are randomized via a randomization envelope system into two parallel groups, with no cross-over or sequential intervention throughout the study. The intervention group receives UroMed AI Doctor-assisted diagnosis, treatment decision-making and preoperative education; the control group is managed by specialist attending physicians with traditional manual care, and all other clinical protocols, pricing and procedures are identical between groups to ensure comparability. A total of 1080 patients (90 per center, 30 per disease) are enrolled, with balanced disease stratification in both groups. All AI-assisted services for the intervention group are free, imposing no extra financial burden on participants. Diagnosis and treatment plans of both groups are independently eval
