Background: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI)-based pharmaceutical services in community pharmacy (CP) settings has the potential to enhance point-of-care services and improve informed patient access to healthcare. The Pneumoscope™, an innovative AI-powered digital stethoscope that analyses lung sounds to detect specific respiratory pathologies, could be a valuable tool for pharmacists in conducting respiratory screening. To understand how this device can be implemented in the healthcare system, this exploratory research aims to assess the acceptability of pharmacists and patients, and the pharmacists' readiness to use the Pneumoscope™ in CPs for respiratory disease management.

This study, grounded in empathy theory, employs natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to explore the factors influencing patient satisfaction in online healthcare services, particularly the impact of doctor-patient empathy.
Methods: Utilizing the three dimensions of the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy, seven variables were extracted from patient-doctor dialogs as independent variables, with patient satisfaction as the dependent variable.
