The use of Chat GPT for Obesity Management in Greece: A PESTEL Analysis

The treatment of obesity in Greece, which has undesired health, economic and social impacts, requires a holistic approach while the use of strategic management tools such as SWOT and PESTEL analysis can facilitate the fight against the pandemic. The use of Artificial Intelligence in several sectors has increasing applications nowadays. A PESTEL analysis has been realized using the Chat GPT instead of asking the opinion of experts and stakeholders of the healthcare industry. Chat GPT was asked to identify the main political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal factors affecting obesity management in Greece. It was found that its quick answers were satisfactory although some additional factors which were not identified by Chat GPT have been proposed. Taking into account that the use of Chat GPT has various limitations related with its training in recent scientific advancements and information it is suggested that it should be used combinedly with human analysis for the achievement of optimum results. Our findings could be used by policy makers, experts and several stakeholders of the obesity management industry in Greece for the improvement of the policies used for treating the contemporary pandemic of obesity.
