Abstract

BACKGROUND: Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) has exhibited great potential in the treatment of food allergy. However, there is no global consensus on best practices of OIT. Parents of allergic children often struggle with concerns regarding OIT methodology, safety, and lack of accessible educational resources. ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot from OpenAI recognized for its ability to formulate human-like conversations. Although applications of artificial intelligence in medical settings continue to be explored, the effectiveness of ChatGPT as an educational resource remains unknown for OIT.
