Google Research created an AI system that outperforms human doctors at diagnosing through conversation. blog.research.google/2024/0...

The Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer (AMIE) is built on a Google LLM, and it's been optimized for "diagnostic conversations." Essentially, you give AMIE a patient's medical history as a knowledge base to work with, and it takes the patient through a conversation and diagnoses potential issues with incredible accuracy.

AMIE was tested in a controlled environment against primary care physicians using a randomized, double-blind study. The results showed that AMIE performed on par or better than the doctors in simulated diagnostic conversations across the board.

These results suggest that advanced, fine-tuned AI systems can match or exceed the diagnostic capabilities of even highly trained human physicians!

The study had limitations. The text-only interface used is not representative of most clinical interactions, and AMIE has not been tested in any real-world applications yet. Transitioning from a research prototype to a practical, safe and reliable tool for clinical use will present difficult challenges, so we may not see AI like AMIE helping out in our local hospitals any time soon.

Despite these challenges, the potential of AI like AMIE in revolutionizing patient care is immense. Thanks to your support, Malecare helps to focus AI innovation towards oncology, and, specifically, innovation in service for prostate cancer patients.

Please show your support with a quick and cost free way to build prostate cancer awareness. When you click on the Malecare YouTube "subscribe" button, you tell Google/YouTube that prostate cancer is an important topic for you and probably thousands of others like you. Clicking on "subscribe" literally costs nothing. You are not going to receive emails or notices. You don't have to fill in any forms. All you will be doing is something good. You are raising prostate cancer awareness.

Looking forward to this coming into practice. Docs are too busy with seeing patients every 15 minutes to do any research. Sad, but that is the practice of medicine today. I have had to send my cardiologist studies on Rosuvastatin high dose and death (my wife was taking that), comparing different HPB drugs and prostate cancer, and others. Oh, he was highly trained, but outside university docs, who have to research as part of their job, most docs need something like this. When will we personally have access to this? I see the graph that AI does better by itself than when used by a doc. The doc's prejudices seem to interfere with best treatments.
