Google DeepMind · 5 months ago · 45

Google DeepMind announced an AI co-clinician research initiative designed to work alongside physicians in patient care rather than replace clinical judgment. In evaluation of 98 primary care queries, the system recorded zero critical errors in 97 cases and outperformed other AI systems on medication knowledge benchmarks. The AI performed comparably to primary care physicians in 68 of 140 assessed consultation skill areas during simulated telemedical encounters, with ongoing trials across the US, India, Australia, and other regions.
