Enhancing ICU Patient Recovery: Using LLMs to Assist Nurses in Diary Writing
Abstract: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients often develop new health-related problems in their long-term recovery. Health care professionals keeping a diary of a patient's stay is a proven strategy to tackle this but faces several adoption barriers, such as lack of time and difficulty in knowing what to write. LLMs, with their ability to generate human-like text and adaptability, could solve these challenges. However, realizing this vision involves addressing several socio-technical and practical research challenges. This paper discusses these challenges and proposes future research directions to utilize the potential of LLMs in ICU diary writing, ultimately improving the long-term recovery outcomes for ICU patients.
