Large language models: enabler or eroder of cardiovascular care?

Large language models (LLMs) have potential in healthcare settings to help support both patients and clinicians. Cardiologist Dr Robert van der Boon believes they could have several applications, including patient communication and education, clinical decision support and administrative tasks. Delegates to ESC 2024 in London heard roles explored for LLMs in areas of clinical decision-making, patient care, research, and scientific writing. But experts in the session also raised concerns over trustworthiness, bias, privacy and security.
