Radiologists at the University of California at Los Angeles ( UCLA ) are using a machine learning chatbot to communicate with their clinicians and answer questions about proposed treatments . By using deep learning algorithms to analyse complex data sets , the application provides insight in areas including early detection , treatment planning and disease monitoring . The researchers used cutting-edge artificial intelligence to create a "chatbot" interventional radiologist that can automatically communicate with referring clinicians and quickly provide evidence-based answers to frequently asked questions. As a result , doctors are able to share information more conveniently , patients spend less time on the phone and patients are better informed , according to Kevin Seals , the application 's programmer and a resident physician in radiology at UCLA .
