• Title: [Vision Paper] PRObot: Enhancing Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for Diabetic Retinopathy using Chatbots and Generative AI
• Authors: Maren Pielka, Tobias Schneider, Jan Terheyden, Rafet Sifa,
• Abstract summary: We present an outline of the first large language model (LLM) based application in the context of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for diabetic retinopathy. We enable patients to provide feedback about their quality of life and treatment progress via an interactive application. The goal of the application is to improve adherence to the healthcare system and treatments, and thus ultimately reduce cases of subsequent vision impairment.

• Abstract: We present an outline of the first large language model (LLM) based chatbot application in the context of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for diabetic retinopathy. By utilizing the capabilities of current LLMs, we enable patients to provide feedback about their quality of life and treatment progress via an interactive application. The proposed framework offers significant advantages over the current approach, which encompasses only qualitative collection of survey data or a static survey with limited answer options. Using the PROBot LLM-PROM application, patients will be asked tailored questions about their individual challenges, and can give more detailed feedback on the progress of their treatment. Based on this input, we will use machine learning to infer conventional PROM scores, which can be used by clinicians to evaluate the treatment status. The goal of the application is to improve adherence to the healthcare system and treatments, and thus ultimately reduce cases of subsequent vision impairment. The approach needs to be further validated using a survey and a clinical study.

  Vision-Language Models (VLM) can support clinicians by analyzing medical images and engaging in natural language interactions.

We propose a new alignment algorithm that uses symbolic representations of clinical reasoning to ground VLMs in medical knowledge.
