Evaluating the Feasibility of ChatGPT in Healthcare: An Analysis of Multiple Clinical and Research Scenarios
AbstractThis paper aims to highlight the potential applications and limits of a large language model (LLM) in healthcare. ChatGPT is a recently developed LLM that was trained on a massive dataset of text for dialogue with users. Although AI-based language models like ChatGPT have demonstrated impressive capabilities, it is uncertain how well they will perform in real-world scenarios, particularly in fields such as medicine where high-level and complex thinking is necessary. Furthermore, while the use of ChatGPT in writing scientific articles and other scientific outputs may have potential benefits, important ethical concer...

Virtual Reality as a Hypnotic Tool in the Management of Anxiety During the Performance of the Axillary Block
AbstractRegional anaesthesia is a gold standard in upper limb orthopaedic surgery. Carried out on an awake patient, it can be a source of anxiety. In recent years, hypnotic techniques have been proposed in the management of perioperative anxiety. Among them, virtual reality is increasingly used as a distraction tool during anxious or painful actions despite the scarcity of proof of its benefit in the literature. Before implementing the systematic use of virtual reality when performing regional anaesthesia in our institution, we designed a study hypothesizing that the use of a virtual reality headset when performing an axil...

Design and Evaluation of a Technological Platform for Monitoring Patients with Dementia: Unifying Requirements from Mexican Day Centers
AbstractThe monitoring of patients with dementia who receive comprehensive care in day centers allows formal caregivers to make better decisions and provide better care to patients. For instance, cognitive and physical therapies can be tailored based on the current stage of disease progression. In the context of day centers of the Mexican Federation of Alzheimer, this work aims to design and evaluateAlzaid, a technological platform for assisting formal caregivers in monitoring patients with dementia.Alzaid was devised using a participatory design methodology that consisted in eliciting and validating requirements from 22 a...

A Web-Based Reporting System for Reviewing Local Practice Patterns of Anesthesiologists Derived from the Electronic Medical Record
AbstractAfter completion of training, anesthesiologists may have fewer opportunities to see how colleagues practice, and their breadth of case experiences may also diminish due to specialization. We created a web-based reporting system based on data extracted from electronic anesthesia records that allows practitioners to see how other clinicians practice in similar cases. One year after implementation, the system continues to be utilized by clinicians. (Source: Journal of Medical Systems)

Usability Evaluation of Connected Health Devices in Home Monitoring: Toward Devices Adapted to the Characteristics of Informal Caregivers
The objective of this study is to identify the characteristics of ICGs impacting the use of the iHealth ® Sense BP7 medical device, namely a connected wrist blood pressure monitor. For this purpose, user tests were conducted with 29 potential or actual ICGs. First, the participants filled out a socio-demographic questionnaire and then handled the blood pressure monitor. Finally, they completed the Sy stem Usability Scale questionnaire. The results revealed an impact of technophilia and age on usability dimensions. To conclude, the consideration of the ICG population in the design process of connected medical devices is di...
