How ChatGPT Can Transform Healthcare: A Systematic Review

ChatGPT Transforming Healthcare Sector

With the diverse use of AI in various fields such as customer support and data management, sales, and marketing but its implementation in healthcare is restricted to some areas. The utilization of AI in the domain of healthcare is its ability to increase accuracy while reducing the time in various aspects of healthcare. The potential applications of ChatGPT involve identifying potential medical research topics to assist medical professionals in clinical diagnosis.

ChatGPT generates automated summaries of patient interactions and medical histories making the medical recordkeeping process more streamlined for medical professionals. By dictating their notes, medical professionals can leverage ChatGPT to summarize key details such as symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments by extracting relevant information from patient records such as lab results. Task automation of documentation, letter writing, and prior authorizations of other medical devices will improve the coordination of healthcare.

Clinical trials are vital for the development of new treatments, diagnostic tools, and preventive strategies especially at the time of an outbreak of a new disease. Clinical trials require many participants and recruitment of it can be a challenging process. ChatGPT can identify the patients that meet the inclusion criteria, helping the researchers to connect with patients willing to participate in the clinical trial.

Doctors are the right people to provide advice to us regarding our health. The emergence of ChatGPT can assist with clinical decision support by providing real-time recommendations such as flagging drug interactions, suggesting treatment options for a specific health condition, and providing relevant clinical guidelines. These will enable them to make lifestyle changes.

Task automation with personalized care is an important function of ChatGPT in healthcare. ChatGPT can assist patients in managing their medications by providing reminders, dosage instructions, and information about potential side effects and other important considerations.

ChatGPT also has the potential to enhance medical education. It can also be used to help medical students, doctors, and other healthcare professionals to know about the new developments in the healthcare sector and thus is a powerful tool to increase health literacy.

Furthermore, AI models like ChatGPT can make healthcare more effective and efficient in early detection, diagnosis, risk stratification, severity prediction, mortality prediction, management, and decision-making in acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Moreover, ChatGPT has various applications in the healthcare sector but also has many ethical considerations and limitations such as credibility, copyright infringement, and biases. There may also be changes in the roles and responsibilities of health care providers may also occur as well as the development of new professions and career pathways to support the integration of technology into clinical care. While AI will not and should not replace healthcare professionals, roles are likely to shift to embed technology in the day-to-day work of clinicians and augment patient care.
