(closed for review but you can still tweet)
NOTE: This is an unreviewed Preprint
Warning: This is a unreviewed preprint (What is a preprint?). Readers are warned that the document has not been peer-reviewed by expert/patient reviewers or an academic editor, may contain misleading claims, and is likely to undergo changes before final publication, if accepted, or may have been rejected/withdrawn (a note "no longer under consideration" will appear above).
Peer-review me: Readers with interest and expertise are encouraged to sign up as peer-reviewer, if the paper is within an open peer-review period (in this case, a "Peer-Review Me" button to sign up as reviewer is displayed above). All preprints currently open for review are listed here. Outside of the formal open peer-review period we encourage you to tweet about the preprint.
Citation: Please cite this preprint only for review purposes or for grant applications and CVs (if you are the author).
Final version: If our system detects a final peer-reviewed "version of record" (VoR) published in any journal, a link to that VoR will appear below. Readers are then encourage to cite the VoR instead of this preprint.
Settings: If you are the author, you can login and change the preprint display settings, but the preprint URL/DOI is supposed to be stable and citable, so it should not be removed once posted.
Submit: To post your own preprint, simply submit to any JMIR journal, and choose the appropriate settings to expose your submitted version as preprint.
Warning: This is an author submission that is not peer-reviewed or edited. Preprints - unless they show as "accepted" - should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
ChatGPT in Dermatology: A Comprehensive Systematic Review
ABSTRACT
Background:
In recent years, the field of dermatology has adopted the latest technologies to enhance patient care and medical education. Mobile technology and social media platforms have revolutionized the delivery of services, and AI-based procedures are poised to become part of dermatologists' daily routines. There are already numerous papers on the use of the latest conversational AI tool, ChatGPT, in dermatology, and a systematic analysis of these studies can yield valuable insights.
Objective:
To comprehensively evaluate the literature on the various applications of ChatGPT in dermatology.
Methods:
We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, EuropePMC, medRxiv, arXiv, Dimensions AI, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar, to obtain articles published up until May 15, 2023. The eligibility criteria focused on studies examining the use of ChatGPT in dermatology-related areas. To address the risks of bias, we employed a meticulous selection process, incorporating diverse information sources, including preprints, in multiple languages. In addition to full-text articles, acknowledgments and supplemental material were also examined to ensure a thorough analysis. The synthesis of findings utilized network analysis and thematic synthesis methodologies.
Results:
There was a total of 87 manuscripts that fulfilled eligibility requirements. Over a third of them (36%) acknowledged the assistance of ChatGPT in writing, data analysis or assisting in software development. About a quarter (24%) were case reports describing dermatological manifestations and complications. ChatGPT demonstrated successful performance answering questions related to dermatology, ranging from excellent in cancer to barely passable in specialized and lesser-known dermatology areas, although its performance improved with GPT 4. There are advancements in interactive learning, integrations with image-based AI, and enhancing language models for dermatology applications.
Conclusions:
Conclusions:
There has been a remarkable surge in the adoption of ChatGPT in areas related to dermatology, especially in writing case reports. As researchers are aware of safety and uncertainty, a continued feedback loop for reporting errors is crucial for the ongoing improvement and training of AI models, ensuring their reliability and effectiveness in the field.
