ABSTRACT
Artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) offer significant potential to enhance many aspects of daily life. Patients and caregivers are increasingly using AI for their own knowledge and to address personal challenges. The growth of AI has been extraordinary; however, the field is only beginning to explore its intersection with participatory medicine. For many years, the Journal of Participatory Medicine has published insights on tech-enabled patient empowerment and strategies to enhance patient-clinician relationships. This theme issue on Patient and Consumer Use of AI for Health to explore the use of AI for health from the perspective of patients and the public.
