Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of a hybrid online cancer consultation system by comparing responses generated through three approaches using a dedicated web-based application: (i) generative AI, (ii) healthcare professionals, and (iii) a hybrid model combining AI and healthcare professionals. Both patients and healthcare professionals will assess these responses

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

.The hybrid approach seeks to leverage the cross-disciplinary knowledge and rapid response capability of AI, while ensuring medical, social, and ethical validity, as well as empathy and psychological support for patients, through the involvement of healthcare professionals. By integrating these complementary strengths, we aim to develop an efficient and high-quality online hybrid cancer consultation system that addresses the unmet needs of face-to-face cancer consultation support in real-world clinical practice.

Other related information

Written informed consent will be obtained from participants.
Consultee participants (study subjects) will submit their questions in text format through a dedicated web application developed for this study.
For each question, an advisor with expertise in the relevant field will provide a response (advisor response). Subsequently, a response will be generated using ChatGPT (AI response), and the advisor will then revise the AI-generated response to produce a hybrid response. The type of advisor will remain blinded to the consultee.
The consultee will evaluate all three types of responses.
In addition, multiple healthcare professionals, independent of the advisors, will evaluate the responses provided by the advisors.
