Thoughts from the MedAsk team on the generative AI and symptom checker space, updates from the product and much more.
AI Has Entered the Patient's World —Are We Ready?
This article examines the rapid adoption of AI chatbots in healthcare, their growing role in patient empowerment, and the critical steps being taken to ensure these tools remain safe and reliable as they enter mainstream use.
Introducing SymptomCheck Bench
In this article we introduce SymptomCheck Bench, a novel approach to evaluating AI agents on diagnostic accuracy in symptom checking tasks. Through this framework, we compare MedAsk’s performance against established commercial symptom checkers and demonstrate the potential of LLM-based approaches in symptom assessment.
Towards More Realistic Evaluation of Medical AI Systems
In this article we propose a new OSCE-style benchmark for evaluating medical AI systems through simulated clinical scenarios, addressing the limitations of current exam-style assessments and aiming to better reflect real-world medical practice.
The Case for Symptom Checkers
This article explores the challenges faced by traditional healthcare systems, the limitations of current symptom checkers, and how LLM-based solutions are poised to transform the way people interact with and understand their health.
