ChatGPT in Medicine: Evaluating Psoriasis Patient Concerns

The study evaluates ChatGPT's ability to address psoriasis patient concerns, finding it generally effective with an average expert rating of 9.22 out of 10 for its responses to 12 common questions. ChatGPT successfully highlights the psychological and comorbid aspects of psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune disease, but cannot replace professional medical judgment. The document emphasizes the importance of skincare, stress management, and emotional well-being in managing psoriasis, recommending natural moisturizers, avoiding irritants, maintaining a healthy diet, and seeking medical advice. Emotional management strategies include seeking support and practicing relaxation techniques. Personalized care and consulting healthcare providers are crucial for effective treatment. The study was supported by the Fujian provincial health science and technology project, with no conflicts of interest.
