Media request: experience of using AI tools for medical advice

[RhiannonEMumsnet]

Hi there,

We've received the following media request.

Thanks,
MNHQ

I’m Jamie Roberton, an investigative journalist and senior producer looking into people’s use of AI tools such as ChatGPT for medical advice, sometimes before speaking to a GP or other healthcare professional.

I’m hoping to speak to someone who has used AI to assess or diagnose their symptoms, or relied on its advice when deciding whether to seek medical help, whether the advice ultimately proved right or wrong.

Ideally, I’m looking for someone who would be comfortable discussing what prompted them to use AI, what it told them, whether they acted on that advice, and what happened afterwards.

Any medical information would of course be handled sensitively.

If you’re willing to speak with me, please email [email protected].
