ARVO 2024: Study validates ChatGPT 4.0 as potential uveitis patient resource
In a presentation at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology’s 2024 Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington, researchers used Google’s recommended top 8 uveitis patient educational websites in the study to determine whether ChatGPT 4.0 could be used as a uveitis patient online resource. Patients today increasingly turn to online resources for healthcare information as technology and the internet continue to advance.
In this study, researchers collaborated with teams from various countries to evaluate ChatGPT 4.0, aiming to assess its accuracy and comprehensiveness compared to existing websites.
Researchers, including Saeed Mohammadi, MD, at the Byers Eye Institute, Stanford University, collaborated with teams from Nepal, Singapore, South Korea, and India in this study. They collected information from various reputable sources such as the National Health Service, Cleveland Clinic, and Mayo Clinic to evaluate ChatGPT 4.0. The study aimed to assess the accuracy and comprehensiveness of ChatGPT 4.0 responses compared to existing websites.
Research Methodology
The research team submitted similar queries from the top 8 uveitis patient educational websites to ChatGPT 4.0, requesting standard and simplified responses. Vitreoretinal specialists were then asked to evaluate the content for accuracy, comprehensiveness, and personal preference without prior knowledge of the content source. The study also used readability tools to assess the understandability of the information provided by ChatGPT 4.0.
The study indicated that the specialists preferred the standard ChatGPT responses, considering them to be more comprehensive and accurate. However, the readability tools revealed that the standard responses required a higher educational level for understanding compared to the simplified responses.
Dr. Mohammadi emphasized the importance of ensuring that online resources provide accurate and accessible information to individuals with varying levels of education. ChatGPT 4.0 demonstrated its ability to offer reliable, accurate, and easily understandable information on uveitis tailored to patients’ educational backgrounds.
