Training ChatGPT Models in Assisting Urologists in Daily Practice

Area of Science:

• Medical Informatics
• Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Background:

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers potential to improve physician accuracy and efficiency.
• ChatGPT is an AI chatbot utilizing machine learning on large datasets for human interaction.

Purpose of the Study:

• To compare a custom-trained ChatGPT API 3.5 Turbo model against a general model for assisting urologists.
• To evaluate the AI's effectiveness in retrieving accurate and valid medical information for urologic subjects.

Main Methods:

• A Python script accessed the ChatGPT API 3.5 Turbo.
• The model was custom-trained using the 2023 European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines in PDF format.
• Performance was compared to a general AI model for urologic information retrieval.

Main Results:

• The custom-trained ChatGPT model provided more precise and prompt answers for urologic inquiries.
• The specialized AI demonstrated superior performance in assisting urologists compared to a general model.
• Enhanced information retrieval facilitates better clinical decision-making.

Conclusions:

• A custom-trained ChatGPT API, based on specific medical guidelines, enhances the accuracy and efficiency of urologists.
• This AI application can lead to improved patient care by providing timely and precise medical information.
• AI chatbots show promise as valuable tools in specialized medical fields like urology.
