Sundar Pichai announced that Google's AMIE study with BIDMC, the first prospective study of patient-facing conversational diagnostics in a real clinic, was published in The Lancet's main journal.
- AMIE lets patients chat before appointments; it was tested with real urgent care patients to safely gather medical histories
- Clinicians said summaries helped them prepare in 75% of cases and influenced their care approach in over half
- AMIE's differential diagnoses matched doctors' final diagnoses 90% of the time
It's Google's first-ever paper in The Lancet's main journal.
