Doctor AI? A pilot study examining responses of artificial intelligence to common questions asked by geriatric patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

AI technologies have the potential to transform patient care. AI has been used to aid in differential diagnosis and treatment planning for psychiatric disorders, administer therapeutic protocols, assist with interpretation of cognitive testing, and patient treatment planning. Despite advancements, AI has notable limitations and remains understudied and further research on its strengths and limitations in patient care is required. This study explored the responses of AI (Chat-GPT 3.5) and trained clinicians to commonly asked patient questions.

Methods

Three clinicians and AI provided responses to five dementia/geriatric healthcare-related questions. Responses were analyzed by a fourth, blinded clinician for clarity, accuracy, relevance, depth, and ease of underst
