Written by: Eric Murphy

The world has been abuzz since ChatGPT was unveiled in November by OpenAI. Since then, competitors like Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s GPT-4 debuted as well. Now there are a variety of generative artificial intelligence tools that can be used by individual users and organizations. There are endless uses for the technology that allow users to leverage vast amounts of data and statistical assumptions to respond to prompts or questions.

The advancements of this technology have several applications to healthcare and how care and communication is delivered to patients. How the technology is applied will drive healthcare innovation and perhaps change how healthcare is delivered in the future. The article “How Generative AI – A Technology Catalyst – Is Revolutionizing Healthcare” written in Forbes outlines the healthcare use cases for generative AI. Communication and administration of healthcare services will see an increase in efficiency and will have a direct impact on how physicians can focus more on patient outcomes. There are risks to using the technology in the wrong way and it should not replace but supplement how physicians and healthcare organizations work in the future.
