Abstract
Large language models or ChatGPT have recently gained extensive media coverage. At the same time, the use of ChatGPT has increased deistically. Biomedical researchers, engineers, and clinicians have shown significant interest and started using it due to its diverse applications, especially in the biomedical field. However, it has been found that ChatGPT sometimes provided incorrect or partly correct information. It is unable to give the most recent information. Therefore, we urgently advocate a domain-specific next-generation, ChatBot for biomedical engineering and research, providing error-free, more accurate, and updated information. The domain-specific ChatBot can perform diversified functions in biomedical engineering, such as performing innovation in biomedical engineering, designing a medical device, etc. The domain-specific artificial intelligence enabled device will revolutionize biomedical engineering and research if a biomedical domain-specific ChatBot is produced.
