A research team led by the University of East London (UEL) has developed a multilingual, voice-enabled artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot designed to help people understand retinal detachment.
The system allows patients to ask questions in natural language and receive clear, clinically grounded answers drawn from trusted medical sources. The AI tool can speak its answers aloud in multiple languages.
The technology is designed as an alternative to traditional patient information leaflets, which can be difficult for many patients to read or interpret. “The goal is not to replace clinicians, but to augment clinical communication,” said UEL’s Dr Mohammad Hossein Amirhosseini.
