Deep dives

Chat GPT has potential to answer patient questions in a quality and empathetic way

The study aimed to determine if chat GPT, a generative AI program, could effectively answer patient questions with quality and empathy. The study compared responses generated by chat GPT with actual physician responses to patient questions obtained from online forums. The research findings showed that the panel of healthcare professionals themselves preferred the responses written by chat GPT over those by physicians, considering them to be of higher quality and more empathetic. This suggests that chat GPT has the potential to help address the burden of patient messages on healthcare providers and improve the physician-patient relationship.
