of how the chatbot performs at diagnosing patients. When presented with hypothetical cases, he says, ChatGPT could produce a correct diagnosis accurately at close to the level of a third- or fourth-year medical student. Still, he adds, the program can also hallucinate findings and fabricate sources.
"We're working on doctors being able to put in a one-liner, a patient summary, and for us to be able to generate the first draft of a clinical plan for that doctor," he says."So what tests they would order and what treatments they would order." that could read a scan of a patient's eyes to screen for diabetic retinopathy, a condition that can lead to blindness.Alexandre Lebrun of Nabla says AI can"automate all this wasted time" doctors spend completing medical notes and paperwork.
Other similar AI programs have been approved for specialties like radiology and cardiology. But these new chatbots can potentially be used by all kinds of doctors treating a wide variety of patients.. He says the goal of his company's program is to cut down on the hours doctors spend writing up their notes.Lebrun is open about the fact that chatbots have some problems. They can make up sources, get things wrong and behave erratically.
"When you take state-of-the-art machine learning methods and systems and then evaluate them on different patient groups, they do not perform equally," she says.
