As per their suggestions, the chatbot holds promise in potentially assisting doctors to reduce patient waiting times.

Dr. Hidde ten Berg, who practices at Jeroen Bosch Hospital, reported, “Our findings indicate that ChatGPT performed admirably in generating a list of probable diagnoses and recommending the most likely option.”

He went on to say, “We also noted a substantial degree of overlap between the diagnoses proposed by ChatGPT and those compiled by medical professionals. In essence, this suggests that ChatGPT can propose medical diagnoses in a manner akin to that of a human doctor.”

OpenAI introduced ChatGPT last year, utilizing one of the most advanced language models ever created, the Daily Sun reported.

Previous research has demonstrated its ability to pass the US Medical Licensing Exam and exhibit a more personable bedside manner than real doctors.

In their most recent study, presented at the European Emergency Medicine Congress, researchers examined its performance within the context of an emergency department (A&E).

They anonymized data from 30 patients who sought treatment at Jeroen Bosch Hospital’s emergency department in 2022.
