Patients, Doctors, and Chatbots.

Thomas C Erren
Published in: JMIR medical education (2024)
Medical advice is key to the relationship between doctor and patient. The question I will address is "how may chatbots affect the interaction between patients and doctors in regards to medical advice?" I describe what lies ahead when using chatbots and identify questions galore for the daily work of doctors. I conclude with a gloomy outlook, expectations for the urgently needed ethical discourse, and a hope in relation to humans and machines.
