Title: AI Chatbot Shows Promise in Diagnosing Patients in the Emergency Department
When an injured person arrives at the Emergency Department, it is vital that the patient quickly receives the correct diagnosis. But who can best ask this question?
Should it always be a doctor who makes the diagnosis? Not necessarily, researchers at the Jeroen Bosch Hospital in Den Bosch discovered. AI chatbot ChatGPT can also do the honors very well. The researchers gave ChatGPT the symptoms and results of blood and urine tests from thirty past cases and asked the program to make a diagnosis. They compared that outcome with the diagnosis that was initially made, and which condition it ultimately turned out to be. Doctors made the correct diagnosis in 87 percent of the cases. ChatGPT scored no less than 97 percent.
According to the researchers, it is too early to immediately replace all emergency room doctors with computers. The use of a public program such as ChatGPT leads to privacy issues. But it can help train doctors and detect very rare diseases.
Where does ChatGPT get all its wisdom from? That is a matter of a solid piece of artificial intelligence. But what exactly is artificial intelligence?
