Amazing to see research move from the lab to real-world clinical utility - congrats to the team on this milestone & @TheLancet paper!
Today @TheLancet published our AMIE study with @BIDMC_Medicine, the first prospective study of patient-facing conversational diagnostics in a real clinic.
AMIE is a research system people can chat with before doctors appointments. Testing AMIE outside the lab with real urgent care patients showed how technology can help gather medical histories safely. Clinicians reported that the summaries helped them prepare for visits in 75% of cases and influenced their approach to care in more than half. AMIE’s differential diagnoses also matched the doctors’ final diagnoses 90% of the time giving clinicians more time to focus on patient care.
It’s Google’s first-ever paper in The Lancet’s main journal!

Trust in clinical AI cannot be benchmarked into existence. It must be earned through prospective studies in real-world clinical settings.
Today, @Google and @BIDMChealth published the first clinical study of AMIE, our research medical AI, in @TheLancet! This prospective study is a huge step on our multi-year journey toward enabling universal access to expert-level care.
Two of my biggest takeaways:
💯100% conversationally safe: Zero safety stops were required across all encounters. This gives us the confidence to continue expanding our US study with Included Health.
🤝 Stronger doctor-patient relationships: 75% of PCPs found AMIE’s pre-visit outputs helpful, shifting limited consultation time away from rote information gathering and toward collaborative care.
We're just getting started!!

New perspective in @NatureMedicine from our AMIE team at @Google!
Prospective evidence for conversational medical AI is hard, but non-negotiable

Wonderful working together with @HardyShakerman @apalepu13 @drethangoh @AdamRodmanMD @AmiParekh10 @AvinatanH48021 @ymatias and many on this piece!
Trust in medical AI hasn't been earned yet.
But it potentially can be with randomized trials conducted in real world medicine

A clinical consultation begins long before words are spoken — from a patient’s gait to their facial cues.
Today, our team at @Google advances AMIE towards real-time video consultations, reaching expert-level performance for the first time.

New @Nature study from our team @Google
on AMIE: our conversational medical AI evolving from diagnostic dialogue to managing disease over time.
Congrats to the teams, especially @apalepu13 @valentinlievin @HardyShakerman
@GoogleResearch @GoogleDeepMind
Thrilled to share that our paper on AMIE—our conversational medical AI—is now published in @Nature. We wanted to tackle one of the most challenging areas in clinical AI: management reasoning over multiple patient visits.

Does medical AI really work in the real-world? It needs to be assessed carefully and responsibly.
We will be launching a first-of-its-kind nationwide randomized study with Included Health to evaluate AI in real-world virtual care to better understand its capabilities & limitations. This study is informed by years of foundational research across Google, investigating the capabilities required for a helpful & safe medical AI.

AI holds so much potential in transforming how people manage health, navigate the system, and interact with providers.
This study is informed by years of foundational research, including AMIE (lnkd.in/eY5MaReQ), Personal Health Agent (lnkd.in/e9xn73N4), and Wayfinding AI (lnkd.in/eM8dUV-Q).

September is #ProstateCancer awareness month so we decided to share more about the work we're doing at Google Health and how we're working toward the shared mission of catalyzing the adoption of human-centered #AI in health! Very fortunate to work with such a fantastic group!
We already see the potential benefits of AI-driven prostate cancer research. From informing treatment plans to improving the efficacy & confidence of diagnoses, researchers Dave and Cameron share updates on our exciting work in this vital area. Read more: goo.gle/3re9E52
After 4+ years in the making, super excited for this critical translational step of the program! Very much looking forward to working with @verilylifesci and @LUMEA_DDx colleagues to move the field forward!

Prostate cancer grading is a clinical problem that has attracted substantial ML research because it involves visual pattern assessment, a task well-suited for computer vision models. Learn about the PANDA challenge and how it has accelerated such research↓goo.gle/3HNvByB
