Enhancing Medical Support in the Arabic Language Through Personalized
  ChatGPT Assistance
Mohamed Issa Ahmed Abdelwahed
This Paper discusses the growing popularity of online medical diagnosis as an
alternative to traditional doctor visits. It highlights the limitations of
existing tools and emphasizes the advantages of using ChatGPT, which provides
real-time, personalized medical diagnosis at no cost. The paragraph summarizes
a research study that evaluated the performance of ChatGPT in Arabic medical
diagnosis. The study involved compiling a dataset of disease information and
generating multiple messages for each disease using different prompting
techniques. ChatGPT's performance was assessed by measuring the similarity
between its responses and the actual diseases. The results showed promising
performance, with average scores of around 76% for similarity measures. Various
prompting techniques were used, and chain prompting demonstrated a relative
advantage. The study also recorded an average response time of 6.12 seconds for
the ChatGPT API, which is considered acceptable but has room for improvement.
While ChatGPT cannot replace human doctors entirely, the findings suggest its
potential in emergency cases and addressing general medical inquiries. Overall,
the study highlights ChatGPT's viability as a valuable tool in the medical
field.
