Clinical research is increasingly regulated. Despite growing artificial intelligence (AI) use in healthcare, there is a lack of adequate tools to support researchers in non profit (AI or not) studies. To assist with the classification of clinical software, ClinEthix, a prototype conversational tool, has been developed to help researchers with regulatory qualification. A survey of 20 researchers found it highly useful, clear and user-friendly. Future developments will integrate LLMs and human feedback to improve accuracy.
