Google's AMIE hits The Lancet, matching doctors' final diagnoses 90% of the time

Sundar Pichai announced Google's AMIE conversational diagnostic study, published in The Lancet with BIDMC — the first prospective study of patient-facing conversational diagnostics in a real clinic. AMIE chats with urgent care patients before visits: clinicians said its summaries helped them prepare in 75% of cases and influenced their care approach in over half, with differential diagnoses matching final doctor diagnoses 90% of the time.
The thread cites a 1975 BMJ study showing the patient's story alone led to the right diagnosis in 82% of cases, and a 2018 study finding doctors interrupt patients after 11 seconds — arguing AMIE's value is listening without interruption.
