Recently ChatGPT Health service has been started. This new tool is based on the technology of ChatGPT and OpenAI. Through this, people will get all the information related to health. This tool will be able to provide information ranging from initial advice to lab test reports. In the last few years, people are also becoming aware about health related information. Ever since ChatGPT came into existence, lakhs of health related questions are being asked on it every day. They are getting information about the disease by telling about their symptoms. Considering this growing trend and response, ChatGPT Health has been introduced, but will this technology be beneficial or does it also have disadvantages?
Talking about the benefits of ChatGPT Health, it is available to the people 24×7. It responds quickly and explains information in simple language. People can immediately get information like test diet based on the causes and symptoms of diseases without going to the doctor. Before going to the doctor, people can know with the help of AI what tests need to be done and which doctor to visit for which disease. People can know the symptoms and causes of diseases like diabetes, high BP, heart disease, but is it right to depend too much on this technology? Let us know about this from experts.
Excessive use of ChatGPT is dangerous
Dr. Himanshu Bhadani in Pediatric Department at Delhi AIIMS It is said that children come to them for treatment. Parents are with them. There are many of them who already come with information about the disease and in some cases even say that sir, this is not a problem or prescribe us this medicine. It means that people are now trying to become doctors themselves. All this is happening due to excessive use of ChatGPT. People read about the disease on this and then come to the doctor. But excessive use of this technology is not good.
Dr Himanshu says that AI gives advice based on data, but if the input is given wrong or limited information is received, it can also give wrong suggestions. In many cases, the patient may have unnecessary fear, since every patient’s body is different, the treatment is also done accordingly, but for AI everything is the same. Whatever symptoms you tell him, he will give the same answer to all people, which is not right. In such a situation, it is important that if you have any health problem, you should go to the doctor, and if you have to use technology, then limit it.
ChatGPT cannot replace doctor
Neuro surgeon Dr. Rakesh Kumar at Sir Gangaram Hospital, Delhi. It is said that the use of ChatGPT has increased to such an extent that some people are even searching for medicines by putting symptoms on it and are even consuming them after getting them from the medical center. There are many such cases where patients tell that they had problems and they got the medicine from the medical center. When asked who prescribed the medicine, he told that he had read it from Chat GPT.
Dr. Kumar says that this trend is very dangerous and can cause harm instead of benefit. Wrong medicine and dosage can prove fatal, in such a situation, trust the doctor only for health related matters. ChatGPT is good for health education, but it is not a substitute for doctor’s advice. It is important for you to consult a doctor in case of any problem. Because information will be available with the help of technology, but treatment will be done only by doctors, in any disease, professional healthcare is necessary for test and treatment.
Use ChatGPT Health or not?
In this matter, Dr. Bhadani says that there is no harm in using any technology, but the use should be limited and correct. You should use ChatGPT to increase your knowledge, but do not consider it as a doctor. If you have illness, go to the doctor, machines do not cure…
