Google Health AI improves patient clinical visit preparation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A randomized study conducted within the Google Health app found that a large language model-based AI agent significantly improved patients' preparation for clinical visits. The AI agent, designed to gather clinical context, set expectations, provide information, and generate questions, outperformed a control chatbot in both blinded clinician evaluations and patient self-reports. Clinicians noted a higher rate of comprehensive preparation and better alignment with patients' health context, while patients reported increased preparedness, confidence in asking questions, and overall satisfaction.
