- AMIE is a research system patients chat with before appointments, tested with real urgent-care patients to gather medical histories safely.
- Clinicians reported AMIE's summaries helped them prepare in 75% of cases and influenced their care approach in more than 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, celebrated by Demis Hassabis and Sundar Pichai as a lab-to-clinic milestone.
