  • 用双代理架构处理音视频流,实现自然对话与临床推理平衡。
  • 在20个标准化场景中,表现接近主治医生,显著优于实时聊天模型。
  • 适合医患协作场景,特别适用于远程诊疗中的实时辅助。

医学实践不仅依赖于有效的沟通,还涉及医生与患者之间丰富听觉和视觉线索的微妙交互。基于Gemini的低延迟音视频处理能力,我们推出了首个可对话的医疗AI协诊系统,该系统利用实时患者对话的连续音视频数据,支持临床决策。其双代理架构兼顾深度临床推理与自然对话所需的低延迟。为评估该系统,我们构建了模拟远程问诊的视频界面,设计了20个标准化门诊场景,要求进行主动的实时听觉与视觉推理,并制定了“TelePACES”评估标准及具体案例评分表。在一项随机、接口盲法、交叉设计的仿真研究(共120次会诊)中,由10名内科住院医师扮演患者,对比了该AI系统与全科医生(PCPs)、GPT-Realtime及基线代理的表现。AI协诊系统在关键的TelePACES维度(如管理方案、鉴别诊断)上接近全科医生,且在所有通用评估项中显著优于GPT-Realtime。虽然在特定病例分诊指标上与医生持平,但医生在具体病例评估中仍具整体优势。尽管该系统在实时医疗AI领域取得重要进展,但在体格检查和疾病特异性推理方面仍有不足。研究显示,纯文本方法无法捕捉真实问诊挑战,提示高风险实时诊断AI应以‘医生-患者-AI’三元协作模式安全推进。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The practice of medicine relies not only upon skillful dialogue but also on the nuanced exchange and interpretation of rich auditory and visual cues between doctors and patients. Building on the low-latency voice and video processing capabilities of Gemini, we introduce AI co-clinician, a first-of-its-kind conversational AI system utilizing continuous streams of audio-visual data from live patient conversations to inform real-time clinical decisions. Its dual-agent architecture balances deep clinical reasoning with the low latency required for natural dialogue. To assess this system, we implemented a video-based interface emulating telemedicine consultations. We crafted 20 standardized outpatient scenarios requiring proactive real-time auditory and visual reasoning and designed "TelePACES" evaluation criteria alongside case-specific rubrics. In a randomized, interface-blinded, crossover simulation study (n = 120 encounters) with 10 internal medicine residents as patient actors, we compared AI co-clinician with primary care physicians (PCPs), GPT-Realtime, and a baseline agent. AI co-clinician approached PCPs in key TelePACES dimensions, including management plans and differential diagnosis, while significantly outperforming GPT-Realtime across all general criteria. While our agent demonstrated parity with PCPs in case-specific triage measures, physicians maintained superior overall performance in case-specific assessments. Although AI co-clinician marks a significant advance in real-time telemedical AI, gaps remain in physical examination and disease-specific reasoning. Our work shows that text-only approaches fail to capture the true challenges of medical consultation and suggests that high-stakes real-time diagnostic AI is most safely advanced in collaborative, triadic models where AI can be a supportive co-clinician for doctors and patients.
