Gemini-powered AI matches physician performance in video consultations

A recent study published on arXiv describes AMIE, a multi-agent medical AI system powered by Gemini. The system integrates real-time audiovisual perception, low-latency dialogue, and clinical reasoning to perform simulated video consultations.

In these simulations, AMIE matched or exceeded the performance of primary care physicians on key metrics. The AI is capable of guiding patients through physical examinations, such as the pronator drift test, via video calls. While the system demonstrates expert-level clinical reasoning, researchers noted that human connection and subtle perception remain critical components of patient care.
