Today, I’ll show you how you can use AI, for example ChatGPT, to better prepare for your doctor’s appointment. I visit the MS Center in Dresden, Germany, once every quarter, and in all these years, it has happened often enough that I forgot to address important topics. There were different reasons for this. You probably know the feeling. When results are presented that you didn’t expect, terms are used that are new or at least not familiar enough to make you wonder. And with a chronic illness like multiple sclerosis, there may well be several topics to discuss with your doctor. Time is usually short – and when you’re nervous, it’s easy to forget half of what you need to say.

I have found that ChatGPT can help me prepare for such conversations. In this episode, I’ll show you how it can work in practical terms, using a real-world example.
