1. What is ESC Chat?
ESC Chat is an AI-powered chatbot tool based on a Large Language Model (LLM). It has been trained exclusively on selected ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines, allowing it to provide detailed answers to related questions. Its goal is to offer quick, conversational access to ESC Guidelines, supporting the usability and implementation of evidence-based practices in healthcare. The chatbot is still learning and evolving to improve the quality of its responses.
2. What kind of questions can ESC Chat answer?
ESC Chat only answers questions and provides answers related to the content of current ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines. This applies to follow-up questions, questions on additional references and questions combining different guidelines. It is designed to help users better understand guideline recommendations, definitions, diagnostic criteria, risk assessments, and treatment pathways covered in these guidelines.
3. Is ESC Chat available in multiple languages?
ESC Chat understands questions in multiple languages, but answers in English only.
4. What makes ESC Chat different from other AI tools?
ESC Chat is the only ESC endorsed AI tool designed to support your understanding and application of the latest best practices, by providing reliable answers based exclusively on ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines. Unlike other chatbots, it offers guideline-specific responses with direct links to relevant sections of the full-text guidelines. This makes it a time-saving resource for cardiologists, enhancing accessibility, usability, and the implementation of evidence-based recommendations in daily practice.
5. What if I disagree with the answer?
Your feedback is invaluable and encourages you to share any comments or concerns using the “Add comment” feature within ESC Chat’s interface. Your input helps us improve the tool and ensure that it provides the most accurate and helpful information.
6. Are my questions and interactions with the chatbot stored or shared?
To help improve performance and the user experience of others, questions are stored, but are not attributable to you (they are anonymised). Your questions are not shared with anyone outside of the development and project teams who may use them to improve the tool’s performance. You should never share data on any public platform, including ESC Chat, that could reveal your patient’s identity.
7. Can I base patient treatment on ESC Chat responses alone?
No, ESC Chat is an information system to help improve access to ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines and must not be used as a substitute for health care professionals’ considered advice.
