Abstract
The multifaceted potential of ChatGPT in the medical domain remains underexplored, particularly regarding its application in software development by individuals with a medical background but limited information technology expertise.
This study investigates ChatGPT’s utility in creating a laboratory medicine application. Despite minimal programming skills, the authors successfully developed an automated intra-assay, inter-device precision test for immunophenotyping with a shiny user interface, facilitated by ChatGPT. While the coding process was expedited, meticulous oversight and error correction by the authors were imperative.
These findings highlight the value of large language models such as ChatGPT in code-based application development for automating work processes in a medical context. Particularly noteworthy is the facilitation of these tasks for non-technically trained medical professionals and its potential for digital medical education.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
