What the study is about

In this study, the investigators aim to compare a mobile health platform, known as a 'chatbot,' that leverages artificial intelligence and natural language processing to scale communication, to 'usual care' that patients would receive. This comparison will enable the investigators to determine if the chatbot system can improve rates of recommendation for genetic testing among patients at elevated risk of harboring a familial cancer syndrome in an all-Medicaid gynecology clinic. Furthermore, the investigators aim to evaluate facilitators of inequity in regard to patient access to and utilization of genetic testing services.

Being studied: Chatbot

Conditions: Gynecologic Cancer; Hereditary Cancer Syndrome
