Examining Nurses' Trust and Acceptance of FAIR, an AI-powered Falls Risk Recommender

Tan Tock Seng Hospital

Status: Begins enrollment in 10 months

Conditions: Falls Risk

Treatments: Other: Falls risk - Artificial Intelligence Recommender (FAIR); Other: modified Western Health Falls Risk Assessment Tool (mWHeFRA)

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT07078240

NMRCRTF25jan-004

Details and patient eligibility

About

An exploratory mixed-method study will be conducted to test acceptance and trust of an AI-powered falls risk predictor system by inpatient hospital nurses

Full description

This protocol covers the trial component of a 4-year PhD research study covering focus group discussions with nurses on AI risk systems, workshops to gather feedback on the AI system and feasibility testing in a simulated environment and clinical environment

Enrollment: 60 estimated patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Practicing nurse involved in falls risk assessments of patients

Exclusion criteria

Trial design

Primary purpose: Health Services Research

Allocation: Non-Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

---

60 participants in 2 patient groups, including a placebo group

Intervention Arm

Experimental group

Description:

Nurses in the intervention arm will perform will receive training on the nature of AI recommender (FAIR) and how it works, and how they can apply it in their assessment of the patient. After that, they will be introduced to three simulated patients with different conditions and needs - intended to reflect a patient at "low risk of falls", "moderate risk of falls" and "high risk of falls" and asked to read and interpret the FAIR recommendations before making their own falls risk assessment of the patient using mWHeFRA.

Treatment:

Other: Falls risk - Artificial Intelligence Recommender (FAIR)

Control arm

Placebo Comparator group

Description:

Nurses in the control arms will be reinforced on fall risk assessment methods using the modified Western modified Western Health Falls Risk Assessment Tool (mWHeFRA). After that, they will be introduced to three simulated patients with different conditions and needs - intended to reflect a patient at "low risk of falls", "moderate risk of falls" and "high risk of falls" and asked to perform assessments of the patient mWHeFRA.

Treatment:

Other: modified Western Health Falls Risk Assessment Tool (mWHeFRA)
