Description
Summary:Abstract The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare has enhanced diagnostic accuracy; however, patient engagement and satisfaction remain significant challenges that hinder the widespread acceptance and effectiveness of AI-driven clinical tools. This study introduces CareAssist-GPT, a novel AI-assisted diagnostic model designed to improve both diagnostic accuracy and the patient experience through real-time, understandable, and empathetic communication. CareAssist-GPT combines high-resolution X-ray images, real-time physiological vital signs, and clinical notes within a unified predictive framework using deep learning. Feature extraction is performed using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), gated recurrent units (GRUs), and transformer-based NLP modules. Model performance was evaluated in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, and response time, alongside patient satisfaction through a structured user feedback survey. CareAssist-GPT achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 95.8%, improving by 2.4% over conventional models. It reported high precision (94.3%), recall (93.8%), and specificity (92.7%), with an AUC-ROC of 0.97. The system responded within 500 ms—23.1% faster than existing tools—and achieved a patient satisfaction score of 9.3 out of 10, demonstrating its real-time usability and communicative effectiveness. CareAssist-GPT significantly enhances the diagnostic process by improving accuracy and fostering patient trust through transparent, real-time explanations. These findings position it as a promising patient-centered AI solution capable of transforming healthcare delivery by bridging the gap between advanced diagnostics and human-centered communication.
