Area Of Science
- Medical Informatics
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Patient-Reported Outcomes
Background
- Active patient documentation enhances understanding of therapy efficacy, disease progression, and quality of life in chronic conditions like hematologic malignancies.
- Artificial intelligence (AI), including natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition, has enabled new healthcare tools.
- Existing tools often lack language-specific adaptations for diverse patient populations.
Purpose Of The Study
- To introduce an innovative, Greek-language conversational agent designed for patients with hematologic malignancies.
- To utilize AI, specifically sentiment analysis, for collecting detailed family histories and symptom data.
- To assess the feasibility and user experience of this novel healthcare tool.
Main Methods
- Development of a conversational agent with NLP and sentiment analysis capabilities.
- Tailoring the agent for the Greek language and specific needs of hematologic malignancy patients.
- Conducting a feasibility study to evaluate the tool's effectiveness and user reception.
Main Results
- The conversational agent successfully incorporates sentiment analysis for data collection.
- Preliminary feasibility study findings indicate positive user experience and usability.
- The tool demonstrates potential for enhanced patient engagement in clinical settings.
Conclusions
- The Greek-language conversational agent is a promising tool for collecting patient-reported data in hematologic malignancies.
- AI-driven conversational agents can improve the efficiency and depth of patient data gathering.
- Further research should explore the long-term impact on patient outcomes and clinical decision-making.
