Using AI to review test results

I used AI to help me with my initial diagnoisis. It was so helpful to understand Aortic Disease, and it incentivized me to ask for a Gated CT-which incidently found a mass on my kidney. Stay educated, it can be scary to know and learn about your disease; however, it can help save your life.

I've used AI. Usually I get the perspective from a couple or three different models. Usually they all have different takes so it gives me some perspective. Then I try to find a vetted source to confirm what they tell me. It's a starting point. perplexity.ai provides references, so that can be very helpful.

Be aware that the data you upload may not remain private.

I have asked ChatGPT for all sorts of medical information. Their answers are pretty impressive.

@bitsygirl I agree, nothing you input on the internet is private. I have used AI several times to help me interpret labs, and test results. It has helped me tremendously. I have done this because a 15 min appointment with a cardio, is nowhere near adequate enough time to assess a new patient. My hx and testing was not even looked at, then the focus was on what was my cholestetol number. The assistant count not even find it on her ipad screen, I had to pull it out of my notebook. When I mentioned my dilation, I got a one size fits all quick summary...watch, then surgery at 5.5 cm. My 5.1 frame is completly different than a 6.1 male frame regarding what my healthcare should be.
AI says they don't save information is not true. Specific information AI brought up in a current discussion that I did not mention. It doesn't bother me, because I can't get enough time in front of a doctor to help me with my concerns that brought me to the specialist in the first place. This is my second cardio I have seen and I am very disapointed and frustrated with these quick 15 min at best new patient exams. The first cardio walked out, when my short time was up, and I walked out with the same concerns/questions that my primary doc referred me for.

I use AI as well to be able to understand what is being written in my health dossier. I find many times that doctors don’t tell enough or explain enough. When they diagnosed me with a dilated aorta root there was a whole paper being written about their findings. Things I only found out after requesting a copy from my health dossier. So did they make certain recommendations about lifting and blood pressure they didn’t tell me. There was a tiny abnormality but they couldn’t figure out what it was exactly so it was deemed unimportant and probably just a blip on the screen. I'm find it bad sad and frustrating that I have to find out things this way. There is something seriously wrong if we as patients have to use AI to find out these things. I am worried about my privacy when using AI but what else can you do?
