Since OpenAI (San Francisco, CA) released its generative AI chatbot, ChatGPT, we are on the cusp of technological transformation. The tool is capable of generating text according to the input that the user adds to it. Due to its ability to imitate human speech tone while extracting encyclopedic knowledge, ChatGPT can be a platform for personalized patient interaction. Thus, it has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare system. Our study aims to evaluate how ChatGPT can answer the queries of patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea and aid in self-diagnosis. By analyzing symptoms and guiding patients' behavior toward prevention, ChatGPT can play a major role in avoiding serious health repercussions that develop in the later course of obstructive sleep apnea.
