ABSTRACT

The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into healthcare is poised to revolutionize various aspects of medical practice, including clinical decision‐making, patient care, and medical research. This review explores the applications of LLMs such as ChatGPT‐3, ChatGPT‐4, and BERT in healthcare, focusing on their potential to enhance disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and personalized care. The paper presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the growing body of research, highlighting key trends, influential authors, institutions, and geographical contributions. Despite their promise, significant challenges remain, including model accuracy, data privacy, ethical concerns, and the need for domain‐specific fine‐tuning. This review examines the moral and technical challenges associated with deploying LLMs in healthcare, including biases, a lack of transparency, and issues related to model interpretability. The paper further emphasizes the importance of robust frameworks for ensuring ethical usage. It proposes future research directions to address these challenges, including the development of specialized healthcare models, enhanced transparency, and improved integration into clinical workflows. Ultimately, this review aims to inform healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers about the transformative potential of LLMs in healthcare while underscoring the critical issues that must be overcome for their widespread adoption.
