New Findings from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) Describe Advances in Otosclerosis (Evaluating Chatgpt-4's Performance As a Digital Health Advisor for Otosclerosis Surgery).

A study conducted at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) evaluated the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot called ChatGPT-4 in providing accurate information to patients about otosclerosis surgery. The responses from ChatGPT-4 received mixed scores in terms of accuracy, and the readability analysis indicated that the texts were above a 6th-grade reading level, potentially making them difficult for the average reader to understand. The study highlights the need for continuous improvement in AI systems to ensure that information is both accurate and accessible to patients with varying levels of health literacy. Healthcare professionals should supervise the use of such technologies to enhance patient education and care. [Extracted from the article]
