Google's AMIE Chatbot Tested in Real Pre-Visit Clinical Study Published in The Lancet

A study led by Google and BIDMC tested Google's diagnostic AI chatbot AMIE with 98 outpatients before emergency visits, with a supervising doctor monitoring every exchange.

No conversation needed interruption under the predefined safety criteria, and clinicians said AI summaries helped them prepare for 75% of visits.

AMIE's differential diagnoses matched final diagnoses 90% of the time, but the authors say larger trials are needed.
