Performance of artificial intelligence in the collection of patient history in general practice
Automating administrative tasks, such as compiling a patient's medical history, could help general practitioners in their daily work. AI performance has improved in recent decades, but skepticism among professionals limits its use in medical practice, due to fears of gaps and biases. This study attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of AI in recording patient histories compared to general practitioners. Cross-sectional study. SITE: Online study in France. French general practitioners recruited online. We compare…
AI collected patient histories more effectively than general practitioners during initial consultations, with stronger performance in older patients and for allergies and family history of cancer.
Effectiveness varied by patient and history type, with relevance and reliability not uniform across categories.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0518 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
