This article “Analysing palliative care concerns: Exploring patient and carer narratives with GPT-3.5 as part of the 4D Picture Project”, was developed by Daisy Monika Lal, Paul Rayson, Sheila Payne, Yufeng Liu, Ida Korfage, and Judith Rietjens on behalf of the 4D Picture Consortium and published in the 19th World Congress of the European Association for Palliative Care on pages 366-367.
Personal narratives, particularly those published on social-media platforms such as Reddit, provide genuine insights into the lived experiences of patients with palliative care needs and their family carers. Using natural language processing (NLP) tools like GPT-3.5, this work extracts and categorises the concerns expressed in these narratives. GPT-3.5’s ability to comprehend and interpret human language offers a data-driven understanding of palliative care needs.
