Researchers have developed CARE, a framework designed to improve the reliability of medical Visual Question Answering (VQA) models. CARE addresses the issue of confidence miscalibration, where a model's expressed certainty does not align with its diagnostic accuracy. The framework uses a two-stage process involving supervised fine-tuning with synthesized medical Chain-of-Thought data and a novel Confidence-Aware Reward mechanism within Group Relative Policy Optimization to better align confidence with correctness. Evaluations on three medical VQA benchmarks show that CARE achieves superior diagnostic accuracy while reducing calibration error and hallucination rates, paving the way for more trustworthy clinical decision support tools.
