Abstract

BACKGROUND: With the increasing application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the healthcare sector and the emergence of new solutions, such as large language models, there is a growing need to combine medical knowledge, often expressed as clinical rules, with advances in machine learning (ML) offering higher prediction accuracy at the expense of decision-making transparency.
