AI Triage for Eye Problems: Dr. Arun Thirunavukarasu, a researcher who studied at the University of Cambridge, suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to triage patients with eye issues. AI could help identify urgent cases that require immediate attention from specialists.
Testing ChatGPT 4: Cambridge University academics tested ChatGPT 4, an AI program, against the knowledge of medical professionals in the field of ophthalmology. The AI program scored 69% in a mock exam of 87 questions related to eye conditions.
Comparison with Medical Professionals: ChatGPT 4's performance was compared to that of expert ophthalmologists, trainee ophthalmologists, and junior doctors. While the AI program scored lower than expert ophthalmologists, it outperformed other language models and showed promise in processing eye symptoms and signs to answer complex questions.
Potential Applications: The technology could be used to triage patients, determining who needs immediate specialist care and who can wait to see a general practitioner (GP). It may also provide advice and assistance to non-specialists, such as GPs, in managing eye conditions.
Future Development: Dr. Thirunavukarasu believes that doctors will continue to oversee patient care, but AI could support them by improving efficiency in triaging and providing advice.
Overall, the study suggests that AI, particularly ChatGPT 4, has the potential to assist in the triage of eye problems, improving access to timely care for patients with eye conditions.
