That&#039;s why it&#039;s so important to know how to use it and remember that AI doesn&#039;t replace humans\u2014it&#039;s a tool meant to support and assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research conducted among Americans shows that respondents believe that artificial intelligence can help solve or significantly improve many global challenges over the next 10 years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>development of science and innovation \u2013 69%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Healthcare \u2013 64%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Education \u2013 61%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mental Health \u2013 49%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Climate Change \u2013 46%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social Inequalities \u2013 45%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Economic Inequality \u2013 42%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a high percentage of people recognizing the potential of artificial intelligence in healthcare prompts a closer look at its potential use in patient care. Of particular interest is the support AI can offer patients and their loved ones in understanding diagnosis and treatment, monitoring subsequent stages of therapy, and seeking answers to pressing questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI can, among other things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>translate medical jargon into understandable language,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>assist in reading and interpreting reports,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>analyze data trends,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>look for correlations between symptoms, treatments and therapies,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>support the management of symptoms and side effects of treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI tools<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many AI platforms. Below are two that the blog&#039;s author uses. <em>Adventures with NETs<\/em><em> (Adventures with a neuroendocrine tumor)<\/em> \u2013 Burt Rosen sharing his experiences and tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>ChatGPT<\/em><\/strong><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ChatGPT is free to use, but creating a free account allows you to save conversations and return to them later. This allows the tool to better learn from you and provide increasingly tailored responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform claims to be committed to privacy and offers data protection settings, but it is not HIPAA compliant (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act \u2013 a 1996 US law concerning the protection of medical information). When using AI tools in Poland, it&#039;s important to pay attention to personal data protection principles and consciously decide what information to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blog author uses ChatGPT for, among other things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>analyzing trends in symptoms and tumor growth in relation to therapies,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>translation of medical jargon,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>explaining the results of imaging tests,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>analyzing blood test results and changes in tumor size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>MyDoctorFriend (MDF<\/em><\/strong><strong>)<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MyDoctorFriend is a healthcare-focused tool that&#039;s HIPAA-compliant.

AI can also help you formulate them\u2014just ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201eWhat should I ask you?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201eWhat should I tell you to get better answers?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The more precisely formulated the question, the more useful the answer. It&#039;s important to provide relevant context (e.g., diagnosis or treatment stage) while avoiding sharing data that uniquely identifies the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a guide on how to ask questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>\ud83d\udfe5 <strong>Og<\/strong><strong>about<\/strong><strong>lny prompt<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Answer<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tell me about my cancer.<\/td><td>There are many types of cancer.

Then ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201eCan you translate this into simple, understandable language?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Option 2:<br>Save the report as a PDF file (e.g., by selecting &quot;print&quot; \u2192 &quot;save as PDF&quot;) or scan a paper document and upload the file to the tool using the &quot;+&quot; icon. Both platforms can read PDF files. Then, use the same prompt as in option 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Clinical description (medical language)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Explained in plain language<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Large, irregular, hypodense pancreatic mass capturing DOTATATE, measuring approximately 4.7 \u00d7 3.3 cm, SUV max 115.6; previously 7.5 \u00d7 5.0 cm, SUV max 36.<\/td><td>The main pancreatic tumor is now smaller and less active, showing that the treatment is working.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Multiple metastatic lesions in the liver with intense tracer uptake; the largest in the central part of the liver, approximately 3 cm, SUV max 40.9 (previously 5.9 cm, SUV 30.3).

Overall, the liver is in better shape than before.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Understanding treatment options<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With information obtained from AI, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>better understand available treatment options,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>learn about possible side effects and scenarios,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>prepare to talk to your doctor before your visit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To obtain specific and valuable answers, it&#039;s essential to share relevant information. The more data ChatGPT or MDF has, the more tailored suggestions it can provide. You can inquire about specific treatment options or stages by asking further questions. See the prompt guide above for examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preparing for a doctor&#039;s visit<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before your visit, you can ask AI to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a general list of questions to ask your doctor,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>questions about a specific topic, e.g. clinical trials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sample questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201eTell me about the clinical trials available.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201eWhat should I ask my doctor?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When changing doctors or seeking a second opinion, AI can also prepare a concise medical summary based on previous conversations, uploaded files and information, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>diagnosis,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>current medications,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>treatment history,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>imaging tests,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sizes of tumors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The above examples illustrate only a few of the ways in which AI platforms can be used. It&#039;s worth exploring other possibilities on your own, remembering, however, that AI doesn&#039;t replace a doctor or consultation with a specialist. Information obtained through AI should be treated as a starting point for a conversation with a doctor or therapist and as a supplement to existing knowledge, not as a final diagnosis or basis for making medical decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed based on: How to use AI for your healthcare \u2013 a \u201ehow-to\u201d guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventureswithnets.com\/post\/how-to-use-ai-for-your-healthcare-a-how-to-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.adventureswithnets.com\/post\/how-to-use-ai-for-your-healthcare-a-how-to-guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Joanna Niewolik<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sztuczna inteligencja (artificial intelligence &#8211; AI) coraz \u015bmielej wkracza w r\u00f3\u017cne obszary naszego \u017cycia, wspieraj\u0105c nas nie tylko w pracy, ale tak\u017ce w codziennych, zwyk\u0142ych czynno\u015bciach.
