Medical prompt Starting point for complex issues

“I need help organizing and managing a complex set of health symptoms for efficient healthcare consultations. Please assist in creating a detailed, organized medical document. Here’s what I need you to help with:

1. Organize Symptoms and History: Create a well-structured list of symptoms grouped by severity, type, and potential triggers. Include any known diagnoses or allergies.
2. Identify Potential Causes: Based on the information provided, suggest possible underlying conditions or health concerns. Highlight aspects needing further data or follow-up with healthcare providers.
3. Plan for Medical Consultations: Provide a checklist of what data and information should be collected before healthcare visits. Include suggestions for lab tests or other evaluations that might be necessary.
4. Tracking and Documentation: Suggest how to document medical history, key dates, symptom progression, and outcomes from healthcare appointments to provide a timeline for effective tracking.

Symptoms Provided:

• Primary Symptoms: [List here]
• Secondary Symptoms: [List here]
• Allergies and Sensitivities: [List here]
• Current Diagnoses: [List here]
• Other Observations: [List here]

Please organize this information into a structured, actionable format to make medical appointments efficient and explore potential underlying causes.”

Example of Use and Iterative Improvement:

Step 1: Initial Prompt Submission

• Start by using the generic prompt above and providing the AI with all known symptoms, allergies, and diagnoses.

Step 2: AI Response Review

• Review the AI’s response. Make sure the symptoms are organized clearly, and conditions are suggested based on public best practices. Check if the data preparation for medical consultations is detailed enough.

Step 3: Improvement Prompt

• Ask the AI to refine based on your review, for example: “Please refine the suggestions for possible conditions. Make sure they are more specific to the symptoms provided, and add any common diagnostic tests that might help clarify the condition.”

Step 4: Rewriting for Reuse

• If you are satisfied with the document, ask the AI to rewrite it in a reusable form, potentially for use with another tool: “Please summarize this document in a format that can be saved and reused with other AI tools, keeping the structure but removing any personal identifiers. Ensure the next version is easy for anyone to adapt to their unique situation.”

Sharing Publicly

• The generic nature of the prompt allows others to use it effectively. When sharing, you could provide the initial prompt and explain that users should replace the symptom lists with their own information.
• Consider including instructions on how to iterate and improve it. Iterative improvement, where each AI response builds on the last, helps refine the output for more detailed and actionable content.

Document Length & Effectiveness

• Aim to keep the document under 5-7 pages for practical use by healthcare providers.
• Keep each section under 1-2 pages to maintain a concise, targeted focus.
• Summarize frequently to ensure each iteration builds on the last while reducing redundancy.
