Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT represent a transformative AI capability with profound potential for the healthcare sector. By ingesting and contextualising massive datasets, LLMs can aid clinicians in diagnosis, treatment selection, medical research, and more. However, using these systems requires addressing significant technical hurdles spanning data quality, model interpretability, robust testing, and data privacy.

The predictive prowess of healthcare LLMs hinges on their training data, which encompasses electronic medical records, clinical literature, treatment guidelines, and more.
