From Single Screen to Multi-Step Tasks: A 7-Step Roadmap for Medical AI Agents
MaryamMiradi · x · 2026-08-29
A VLM reading one medical screen is insufficient; a real medical AI agent must complete sequences across 24 screens (clicking, zooming, typing, segmenting). The author outlines a 7-step roadmap from "Screen-as-State" to production:
- Start with Real Goal: Define the full task and what "done" means, avoiding vague instructions.
- Treat Screens as State: Track open panels, active tools, and patient fields (e.g., view vs. zoom mode).
- Ground Screen with Tools: Use OCR for labels and object detection for UI elements.
