Abstract

Medical advice is key to the relationship between doctor and patient. The question I will address is “how may chatbots affect the interaction between patients and doctors in regards to medical advice?” I describe what lies ahead when using chatbots and identify questions galore for the daily work of doctors. I conclude with a gloomy outlook, expectations for the urgently needed ethical discourse, and a hope in relation to humans and machines.

Key Questions

How might chatbots affect the interaction between patients and doctors regarding medical advice?

Chatbots have the potential to transform the doctor-patient relationship by providing immediate information and support. However, their integration raises ethical concerns and necessitates careful consideration to ensure they complement rather than replace human interaction in medical advice.

What ethical considerations are associated with the use of chatbots in medical practice?

The use of chatbots in medical practice requires addressing issues such as data privacy, the accuracy of information provided, and the potential for over-reliance on technology. Ethical discourse is essential to navigate these challenges and ensure that chatbots serve as effective tools without compromising patient care.

What is the author's outlook on the future integration of chatbots in healthcare?

The author expresses a cautious optimism, acknowledging the benefits chatbots can bring to healthcare while emphasizing the need for ongoing ethical discussions and thoughtful integration to ensure they enhance rather than hinder the doctor-patient relationship.
