Privacy-Preserving Local Language Models for Longitudinal Data Retrieval in Chronic Dermatologic Disease: Implementation in Pemphigus Patients
A study evaluated the use of a privacy-preserving small language model (SLM) for retrieving clinical data in pemphigus patients. The model demonstrated an accuracy of 82.25% in feature retrieval and received high ratings from dermatologists for the quality and usefulness of its generated summaries. These findings suggest that SLMs can effectively support clinical decision-making in dermatology.
- ▪Thirty pemphigus patients contributed 541 visit notes for the study.
- ▪The locally deployed SLM achieved a mean accuracy of 82.25% across 1,680 feature retrieval tasks.
- ▪Dermatologists rated the AI-generated summaries highly for overall quality and clinical accuracy.
