Bridging the gap: Evaluating ChatGPT-generated, personalized, patient-centered prostate biopsy reports.

Journal: American journal of clinical pathology
PMID: 39838829

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The highly specialized language used in prostate biopsy pathology reports coupled with low rates of health literacy leave some patients unable to comprehend their medical information. Patients' use of online search engines can lead to misinterpretation of results and emotional distress. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT (OpenAI) could simplify complex texts and help patients. This study evaluates patient-centered prostate biopsy reports generated by ChatGPT.
