A new AI system, ChatVTE, significantly improves patient education for venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared to existing tools. This innovative approach enhances patient understanding and adherence to treatment, potentially improving outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Patient Education Technology
Background:
- Effective patient education is vital for preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE), improving outcomes, and reducing costs.
- Traditional methods often lack engagement and personalized information delivery for VTE patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate an AI-powered patient education system, ChatVTE, for VTE.
- To enhance patient engagement and adherence through personalized, actionable information.
Main Methods:
- Developed ChatVTE using a retrieval-augmented large language model (Qwen1.5-7B) with text-to-speech and lip-sync.
- Compared ChatVTE against ChatGPT using expert evaluation on accuracy, completeness, consistency, and safety.
- Conducted a prospective study with 25 VTE inpatients using ChatVTE and assessing their experience.
Main Results:
- ChatVTE significantly outperformed ChatGPT in accuracy, completeness, and consistency (P<.001).
- ChatVTE demonstrated high patient satisfaction scores (>4.0/5.0) across most experience dimensions.
- Patients rated ChatVTE lower for emotional support (1.92/5.0).
Conclusions:
- ChatVTE is a feasible tool for VTE patient management and education.
- The system shows potential to improve patient-provider interaction and knowledge dissemination.
- ChatVTE may facilitate shared clinical decision-making in VTE care.
