Online Healthcare Consultation

Online healthcare consultation is rapidly evolving, aiming to improve access and efficiency of medical services through digital platforms. Current research focuses on leveraging AI, particularly large language models (LLMs) and machine learning algorithms, to enhance diagnostic capabilities, assess mental health risks (e.g., depression), and improve the overall quality of virtual consultations. This field is significant due to its potential to address healthcare disparities, improve diagnostic accuracy, and optimize resource allocation, although challenges remain in ensuring accuracy, safety, and ethical considerations related to data privacy and algorithmic bias.
