Abstract
New chatbot models, built on the transformer architecture and trained on large amounts of data, have the potential to transform healthcare, including gastroenterology. In this paper, we synthesized current literature reports on the roles of chatbots, and evaluated their potential applications in various areas such as clinical diagnosis and treatment plans, patient triage, scientific research, and academic writing. We believe that chatbots can improve efficiency and patient outcomes in these fields. However, it is important to acknowledge some challenges that need to be addressed, such as privacy concerns and emotional considerations. Overall, chatbots are expected to have a significant influence on gastroenterology and require more research to comprehensively examine their capabilities.
