Potential for GPT Technology to Optimize Future Clinical Decision-Making Using Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) provide many helpful tools for healthcare, one of which includes AI chatbots that use natural language processing to create humanlike, conversational dialog. These chatbots have general cognitive skills and are able to engage with clinicians and patients to discuss patients' health conditions and what they may be at risk for. While chatbot engines have access to a wide range of medical texts and research papers, they currently provide high-level, generic responses and are limited in their ability to provide diagnostic guidance and clinical advice to patients on an individual level. The essay discusses the use of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), which can be used to improve the specificity of user-entered prompts and thereby enhance the detail in AI chatbot responses. By embedding more recent clinical data and trusted medical sources, such as clinical guidelines, into the chatbot models, AI chatbots can provide more patient-specific guidance, faster diagnoses and treatment recommendations, and greater improvement of patient outcomes.
