ChatGPT, the chatbot, has generated phenomenal attention recently. As a new form of artificial intelligence tool, it can not only talk to humans more fluently, but also recite poems, write papers and reports, and write code, which is amazingly intelligent! In addition to automatic “content production” and “intelligent chatting,” ChatGPT is expected to be used in the medical field, with foreseeable application scenarios including medical research, nursing, diagnosis and treatment assistance.

What does ChatGPT+Orthopedic Robot bring to the healthcare field?

What are the applications of ChatGPT in the healthcare field? Some industry professionals have analyzed the following major application directions.

First, providing personalized health support.

ChatGPT can help people better understand their health status and risks by learning from a large amount of medical data and generating detailed and accurate medical reports.

Second, improve the medical experience.

For example, answering patient questions quickly and reducing waiting time.

Third, streamline the clinical workflow.

For example, writing medical records, discharge summaries and administrative matters, scheduling appointments and managing medical records to save time for medical staff.

Fourth, provide decision support.

ChatGPT can provide better decision support for medical staff and researchers, and provide insights to healthcare providers regarding patient outcomes, etc.

Fifth, assist diagnosis and treatment

Based on massive medical data and artificial intelligence algorithms, cognitive computing, deep learning, computer vision and other technologies are used to discover disease patterns and provide assistance to orthopedic surgeons in disease diagnosis and development of treatment plans.

Just as professional drivers are worried about losing their jobs due to self-driving technology, do doctors need to worry about new artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT taking their jobs?

In fact, this involves an ethical issue, because the medical act may have serious consequences, the content from AI can only be used as a reference for diagnosis, not as the main body of diagnosis, and the final diagnosis should be made by human doctors. In the process of fighting diseases, robots also cannot replace doctors’ humanistic care and concern for patients. chatGPT’s current positioning in the healthcare field can be analogous to orthopedic robots, which are tools to assist doctors in better orthopedic surgery.

In orthopedic robot-assisted surgery, with the orthopedic robot’s accurate image positioning algorithm, the robotic arm can then execute the doctor’s surgical planning instructions, which can simplify complex surgery, but cannot replace the doctor in planning the surgical path. The selection of the surgical path is based on the doctor’s understanding of the three-dimensional anatomical structure of the skeleton, accurate judgment of the images and a lot of clinical experience. The orthopedic robot only finds the location of the access screw selected for surgical planning through automatic navigation.

Perlove Medical independently developed and launched the PL300B orthopedic surgery robot to be used with the self-developed and manufactured flat-panel 3D C-shaped arm, which can realize automatic alignment and registration. Its motion simulation function, which can preview the running trajectory of the robot arm, facilitates the robot arm to accurately execute commands with sub-millimeter accuracy. The force sensing control technology provides real-time feedback on the force applied to the end of the robotic arm, which facilitates the surgeon to judge the robotic arm execution in real time.
