The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is responsible for a paradigm shift in medicine. OpenAI's recent augmentation of their Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) large language model (LLM) with voice and image recognition capabilities (OpenAI, Delaware) presents another potential transformative tool for healthcare. Envision a healthcare setting where professionals engage in dynamic interactions with ChatGPT to navigate the complexities of atypical medical scenarios. In this innovative landscape, practitioners could solicit ChatGPT's expertise for concise summarizations and insightful extrapolations from a myriad of web-based resources pertaining to similar medical conditions. Furthermore, imagine patients using ChatGPT to identify abnormalities in medical images or skin lesions. While the prospects are diverse, challenges such as suboptimal audio quality and ensuring data security necessitate cautious integration in medical practice. Drawing insights from previous ChatGPT iterations could provide a prudent roadmap for navigating possible challenges. This editorial explores some possible horizons and potential hurdles of ChatGPT's enhanced functionalities in healthcare, emphasizing the importance of continued refinements and vigilance to maximize the benefits while minimizing risks. Through collaborative efforts between AI developers and healthcare professionals, another fusion of AI and healthcare can evolve into enriched patient care and enhanced medical experience.

Background: A number of efforts have been made to tailor behavioral healthcare treatments to the variable needs of patients with low back pain (LBP). The most common approach involves the STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST) to triage the need for psychologically informed care, which explores concerns about pain and addresses unhelpful beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Such beliefs that pain always signifies injury or tissue damage and that exercise should be avoided have been implied as psychosocial mediators of chronic pain and can impede recovery.
