Relevance of a Customized Version of ChatGPT Explaining Laboratory Test Results in Patient Education

Abstract

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot application. In this study, we explore the creation and use of a customized version of ChatGPT designed specifically for patient education, called “Lab Explainer.” Lab Explainer aims to simplify and clarify the results of complex laboratory tests for patients, using the sophisticated capabilities of AI in natural language processing; it analyses various laboratory test data and provides clear explanations and contextual information. The approach involved adapting OpenAI's ChatGPT model specifically to analyze laboratory test data. The results suggest that Lab Explainer has the potential to improve understanding by providing an interpretation of laboratory tests to the patient. In conclusion, the Lab Explainer can assist patient education by providing intelligible interpretations of laboratory tests.
