The Health Chatbot User Guide. With Dr Joe Alderman- Clinical Lecturer at the University of Birmingham

Millions of people are already using AI chatbots to make sense of their health- from understanding test results to managing long-term conditions and deciding whether they need medical help.

In this episode, Dr Joe Alderman joins Annabelle to explore the opportunities and risks of using general-purpose AI chatbots for health. We discuss the risks and ask what this means for clinicians and health systems when AI is already becoming part of the health conversation, whether they are ready for it or not.

The conversation moves beyond whether people should use AI and towards the more important question: how do we make its use safer?
