Impact of Large Language Model–Based AI Tools on Physician-Patient Communication: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-3/4 have spurred the development of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots and advisory tools in medicine. These systems are posited to assist or augment physician-patient communication, potentially improving empathy, clarity, and responsiveness. However, their actual impact on communication outcomes remains uncertain. Objective: This study aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze peer-reviewed studies (2020‐2025) eval
