Enhancing Medical Diagnosis with Fine-Tuned Large Language Models: Addressing Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema (CPE)

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing (NLP) with significant advancements in text generation. LLMs often struggle with complex domain-specific tasks, such as medical report analysis, despite their capabilities. This study focuses on enhancing LLM performance for medical applications, particularly in diagnosing and managing cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE). This research explores fine-tuning LLMs to develop a real-time CPE chatbot for Intensive Care Units (ICUs). The chatbot aims to provide diagnostic suggestions and explanations based on patient data. In the results, the LLaMa3-8B model performed better in predicting patients' CPE stage and keyword extraction. The accuracies achieved 72% and 86%.
