Traditional rules-based systems struggle to provide the automation and flexibility required for real-time, personalized data collection. We introduce SmartState, a state-based system designed to act as a personal agent for each participant, continuously managing and tracking their unique interactions. Unlike traditional reporting systems, SmartState enables real-time, automated data collection with minimal oversight. By integrating large language models to distill conversations into structured data, SmartState reduces errors and safeguards data integrity through built-in protocol and participant auditing. We demonstrate its utility in research trials involving time-dependent participant interactions, addressing the increasing need for reliable automation in complex clinical studies.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.04411v6","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.04411v6.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"smartstate-a-protocol-driven-human-interface","repo_url":"https://github.com/innovationcore/smartstate-public","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
