AI chat products like ChatGPT are everywhere. Many use these tools in place of search engines or even to help them in their daily operations in the workplace. But for those in healthcare, like doctors, how much can tools like ChatGPT be trusted?
In this article, we’ll break down what these AI chat products are, how they work, and which ones to trust. Plus, a deep dive into what makes DoxGPT different and more secure than an AI chat tool.
What’s An AI Chat Product?
An AI chat product is a software application that uses AI to simulate human conversation in response to user prompts. These tools use machine learning and natural language processing to understand user intent. They then generate conversational responses, rather than relying on pre-programmed scripts. Many users opt for AI chat products in place of search engines like Google.
How Does ChatGPT Work?
Like any AI chat product, ChatGPT uses a large language model (LLM) trained on vast amounts of text. It predicts the most likely word in a given sequence, one word at a time. This response process is refined over time by Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to ensure responses are positive and helpful, much like a super-advanced predictive text system.
Where People Lose Trust In ChatGPT
AI tools like ChatGPT can “hallucinate,” meaning they sometimes tend to produce plausible-sounding but inaccurate information. It can also fail to be transparent about the engine’s limitations, and users have concerns about how the use in high-stakes industries and applications can lead to real-life harm.
DoxGPT: The HIPAA-Compliant Workflow Assistant Doctors Can Trust
DoxGPT is a trusted, HIPAA-compliant tool that doctors can use to assist them in writing authorization letters, patient education materials, research grants, and more. While not an AI chatbot or chat product, DoxGPT can do exactly what ChatGPT can do, like answer real clinical questions doctors and clinicians have, thanks to their AI-optimized semantic dataset.
Unlike ChatGPT’s LLM, DoxGPT is grounded in peer-reviewed research and evidence, drawing on data spanning almost every journal, drug, guideline, and landmark trial. Plus, the cross-linked design helps surface answers quickly and accurately. It’s the speed of an AI chat tool, backed by research doctors can trust.
Why Doctors Still Need To Use Their Judgment
At the end of the day, a chat tool isn’t going to override a doctor’s many years of education and experience. Tools, including DoxGPT, should be used as a guide or jumping off point, not necessarily a source of truth in patient appointments.
So when doctors use these products, they should use their judgment and the patient's story to ultimately make the right call about medical questions, recommendations, and guidance.
5 Benefits Of Using DoxGPT Over An AI Chat Product
1. Instant Answers Rooted In Medical Evidence
Because so many medical questions are drug-related, a great assistant should be able to provide quick answers around drugs for busy doctors. DoxGPT, for example, covers over 3,200 drug monographs and provides information on drug interactions, drug dosing, and side effects.
DoxGPT results are always peer-reviewed and appear after the user types the first few letters of the drug name, without the AI-generated text. It’s no AI guesswork, it’s just results rooted in real medical evidence.
2. Clear Conclusions And Tables
What good is a prompt result if it’s just a wall of text? A search result will summarize the key points right at the top. DoxGPT supports conclusions first for quick digestion and also provides tables for clean, scannable comparisons of guideline criteria, drug options, and more.
3. Accessible Pricing
A big factor to consider when shopping for digital tooling is the cost. Because these products can be marketed as “premium” or “exclusive” tools for healthcare professionals, they sometimes come with an over-the-top license fee, often in the hundreds per seat.
DoxGPT, like all Doximity products, is completely free. It’s accessible functionality for clinics and practices of all sizes.
4. Desktop And Mobile Compatibility
More and more these days, doctors and clinicians aren’t tied to their desktops. Compatibility with mobile devices is crucial for doctors on the go, wherever their practice takes them. DoxGPT's web-based dictation is available in either format, and it can even be used alongside telehealth platforms like Doximity Dialer.
5. Customizable Templates
No two patient visits are exactly the same, but physicians often return to familiar templates and tasks. Template support for progress notes and discharge summaries, for example, is a helpful time saver. DoxGPT supports templates in Projects, and users can even attach files for handy reference.
