Google's AMIE Diagnostic Chatbot Studied Prospectively in Real Clinical Setting

Google reports that its medical research system AMIE, described as the first patient-facing conversational diagnostic tool of its kind studied prospectively in a real-world clinical setting, was evaluated in a study published in The Lancet.

Patients who chatted with AMIE before in-person appointments reported stronger confidence and better organized thoughts.

Physicians reviewing the pre-visit conversation information gained more time for collaborative care and shared decision-making instead of digging through data.
