Expanding possibilities – innovative prompt engineering applications
Across healthcare and other vital fields, prompt engineering, when strategically directed, can automate repetitive tasks and powerfully augment professionals’ capabilities and productivity. Our journey revealed flashes of a future where prompt engineering frameworks may allow non-experts to safely harness these technologies, much like tools such as Excel turned non-programmers into software power users.
Healthcare offers one of the most compelling application areas for prompt engineering. Some of those applications are as follows:
- Clinical decision support: Well-crafted prompts can help LLMs provide doctors with evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients based on symptoms and medical history. This acts as a form of clinical decision support. However, a physician should still validate any guidance.
- Patient education: Prompts can instruct LLMs to explain complex...
