Ep. 9: Using AI to Find Novel Treatment Options

SUMMARY

In this episode, Shivu and Kenny discuss how you as a caregiver or patient can use public resources like clinicaltrials.gov and Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to discover the latest treatment options for a particular disease and empower yourself to have a more productive conversation with your doctor. Kenny and Shivu discuss an example of this situation from an episode of Apple TV's "Shrinking", starring Harrison Ford. In the episode they go through a demo of how they would find new treatment options for Ford's character, a patient suffering from Parkinson's Disease who has exhausted all available treatment options.
