This study aims to investigate the opportunities and challenges of adopting ChatGPT in medical research.
A qualitative approach with focus groups is adopted in this study. A total of 62 participants including academic researchers from different streams in medicine and eHealth, participated in this study.
A total of five themes with 16 sub-themes related to the opportunities; and a total of five themes with 12 sub-themes related to the challenges were identified. The major opportunities include improved data collection and analysis, improved communication and accessibility, and support for researchers in multiple streams of medical research. The major challenges identified were limitations of training data leading to bias, ethical issues, technical limitations, and limitations in data collection and analysis.
Although ChatGPT can be used as a potential tool in medical research, there is a need for further evidence to generalize its impact on the different research activities.
本研究旨在探讨在医学研究中采用ChatGPT的机遇与挑战。
本研究采用焦点小组的定性研究方法。共有62名参与者，包括来自医学和电子健康不同领域的学术研究人员参与了本研究。
共确定了与机遇相关的5个主题及16个子主题；以及与挑战相关的5个主题及12个子主题。主要机遇包括改进数据收集与分析、改善沟通与可及性，以及为多领域医学研究的人员提供支持。所确定的主要挑战包括训练数据的局限性导致偏差、伦理问题、技术限制以及数据收集与分析方面的限制。
虽然ChatGPT可作为医学研究中的潜在工具，但需要更多证据来概括其对不同研究活动的影响。
