The book explores the profound impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) on the healthcare industry. With a focus on key developments and ethical considerations, the book provides valuable insights into AI's current and future applications in healthcare.
Beginning with an introduction to AI and GPTs, the book delves into their use in healthcare, discussing groundbreaking models like Copilot Bing, Bard, BioGPT, GatorTron, and BiomedLM. These models assist in answering medical questions, diagnosing patients, and optimizing patient care.
As GPTs become more prevalent in healthcare, ethical concerns arise, such as privacy, accuracy, and potential biases. The book examines how healthcare providers and organizations are addressing these issues by implementing HIPAA compliance measures and developing standards for GPT use in healthcare.
The importance of HIPAA compliance when using AI in healthcare is thoroughly covered, along with best practices for maintaining compliance, such as data encryption and access control measures.
AI assistants like Alexa and Siri have become common in non-healthcare settings, and the book explores their applications in home automation, entertainment, and e-commerce, while discussing potential benefits and drawbacks.
Looking to the future, the book highlights AI's continued development and evolution in healthcare, focusing on the potential impact of improved patient outcomes and increased efficiency. It also explores future uses of AI, such as precision medicine and drug discovery.
Healthcare providers will play a crucial role in AI's future, and the book discusses how they can embrace AI while ensuring patient safety and ethical considerations.
The book also covers virtual medicine and wellness, exploring the new frontier of virtual healthcare and how Copilot Bing and other GPTs play a role in this emerging field. Security, privacy, and regulatory compliance are addressed, along with the future of virtual medicine and wellness.
In the miscellaneous section, readers will find prompts using GPTs, AI resources, information about the author, other books by Dr. Castro, the GPT Podcast, and Dr. Castro's tools.
The conclusion recaps key points, including AI's current and potential uses in healthcare, the ethical considerations and HIPAA compliance involved, and the role of healthcare providers in AI's future. It also touches on future trends in GPT use in healthcare and the potential impact on healthcare outcomes.
