Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering hospitals, clinics, and even our phones—but can chatbots truly help doctors and patients? In this episode, we explore how AI-powered systems like ChatGPT and other medical assistants are being used to answer health questions, summarize records, support diagnoses, and improve communication between healthcare providers and patients. Can chatbots reduce the workload on doctors? How accurate are they when discussing medical information? And what are the risks of relying on AI in healthcare? From virtual symptom checkers to the future of digital medicine, we examine the promise, the limitations, and the ethical questions surrounding AI in healthcare.
