Study Summary

This study looks at how artificial intelligence (AI), like generative pre-trained transformer (GPT-4), can help doctors in the intensive care unit (ICU) save time and improve communication with families. Right now, doctors spend a lot of time writing notes after family conversations, which takes time away from patient care. The investigators are testing whether AI can create accurate and easy-to-understand summaries of these conversations, making it quicker for doctors to document and clearer for families to understand. ICU doctors and adult family members of patients will take part in this study, with their full consent. The goal is to see if this new technology can make life easier for doctors while helping families better understand medical information.
