Using digital twins to help doctors learn bronchoscopy faster
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a training tool that uses CT scans to create digital copies of patients (digital twins) can help new doctors learn bronchoscopy faster. It may help trainees become skilled more quickly, which could lead to safer procedures for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a medical trainee (resident, fellow, or specialist) in pulmonary, critical care, thoracic surgery, or anesthesiology.
- You have performed 5 or fewer bronchoscopies on your own.
- You have not taken a formal bronchoscopy simulation course before.
- You are willing to have your training recorded and share your test scores for research.
- Or, you are a patient 18 or older scheduled for a low-risk diagnostic bronchoscopy.
- Your doctor agrees it is safe for a supervised trainee to do parts of your procedure.

This study helps anesthesiology residents (doctors-in-training) learn how to place special breathing tubes during surgery. Researchers will track how quickly trainees improve and whether their past experience and the type of tool used affects their success.
This trial tests a new bronchoscope and needle to take samples from lung nodules or lymph nodes. It aims to see if this tool can accurately diagnose lesions in certain parts of the lung.
This study is testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps doctors look at tissue samples during a lung biopsy. The tool is meant to work alongside the doctor to see if it can provide faster or more helpful information while you are still in the procedure room.
This trial studies whether standardizing the training for a lung biopsy procedure helps doctors better diagnose interstitial lung disease. You might be eligible if you have a suspected ILD diagnosis and your lung function and other health markers are within certain limits.
This trial looks at how doctors learn and perform bronchoscopy, a procedure to look inside your lungs. It is for patients who are already scheduled to have a bronchoscopy and a recent CT scan.
This trial tests whether seeing real-time lung visuals on a screen can help doctors feel less mental strain and make faster, more accurate diagnoses while using a ventilator. Participating doctors will practice in two realistic simulation sessions about two weeks apart.
