The Transformative Power of Generative AI in Medical Chatbots Generative AI, specifically large language models (LLMs), are currently changing healthcare chatbots in ways that allow for catching up the limitations of traditional cartable based systems. LLMs excel at understanding complex language, something necessary in healthcare, since patients' questions are often vague and ambiguous. Unlike rigid rule-based chatbots, LLMs - trained on very large datasets - understand how to interprete human language, even when patients speak in non-medical, colloquial terms. Comparatively, using this improved understanding enables chatbots to respond more effectively and meaningfully without the responses being pre-scripted and is used, medical, information of the given inquiry. LLMs can review and analyze all of the large amounts of medical knowledge, as well as, the vast amounts of patient interaction data used to enable LLMs to respond in a specific manner for uniquely wanting to yield the m...
