LLMs show potential as aids for clinicians during physical exams

Full Article

Physical examinations are crucial for diagnosing patient health, yet complex conditions can be missed without specialized training. Researchers from Mass General Brigham explored the use of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 to assist clinicians by providing tailored physical exam instructions based on patient symptoms. The findings, published in the Journal of Medical Artificial Intelligence, highlight the potential of LLMs to improve diagnostic accuracy during physical exams.

Early-career medical professionals often struggle with conducting effective physical exams due to limited experience. LLMs can bridge this gap by offering real-time support and enhancing diagnostic capabilities at the point of care. The study demonstrated that GPT-4 scored well in providing accurate and comprehensive exam instructions, indicating its promise as a valuable tool in clinical settings.

• LLMs can assist clinicians in conducting physical exams effectively.

• GPT-4 demonstrated high accuracy in providing exam instructions based on symptoms.
