IRVINE, CALIFORNIA - Ever since OpenAI introduced ChatGPT - which is based on its GPT architecture - in November 2022, the healthcare industry has shown growing interest in using ChatGPT for various applications.

Researchers are investigating the model's potential in areas from assisting surgeons by analyzing patient data to recommending suitable surgical procedures and providing real-time decision support during operations. GPT models can also help streamline appointment scheduling, prescription refills, patient follow-ups, and other clinical tasks, thus improving overall patient care. They can also help simplify radiology reports by interpreting radiological images and creating clear, concise reports, thus enhancing communication among radiologists, referring physicians, and patients.
