·clinical-trialsA prospective validation trial from Zhejiang University is testing a multi-agent AI system designed to improve early diagnosis of liver, pancreatic, and biliary diseases through structured pre-consultation data collection. The 400-participant study targets a critical gap in HPB diagnostic pathways, particularly in resource-constrained settings where physician shortages and late-stage presentation drive poor outcomes. Clinicians in hepatology, gastroenterology, and oncology should monitor this trial as a potential benchmark for AI-assisted diagnostic workflows.
