TinyLlama-powered AI chatbot: transforming medical education for patients

Abstract

In the last two years, the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs) has driven advancements in fields such as industry, education, and healthcare. For obvious reasons, medical practitioners will never be replaced by these language models; however, LLMs and SLMs can assist in ways such as aiding in diagnosing conditions, providing medical literature reviews and supporting patient communication and understanding of medical terms.
