Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This letter is in response to the article “Enhancing India’s Health Care during COVID Era: Role of Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms”. While the integration of AI has the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce the workload of healthcare professionals, there is a need for significant training and upskilling of healthcare providers. There are ethical and privacy concerns related to the use of AI in healthcare, which must be accompanied by rigorous guidelines. One solution to the overburdened healthcare systems in India is the use of new language generation models like ChatGPT to assist healthcare workers in writing discharge summaries. By using these technologies responsibly, we can improve healthcare outcomes and alleviate the burden on overworked healthcare professionals.
