New EviDx framework uses LLM agents for active clinical diagnosis

Researchers have developed EviDx, a novel framework designed to enhance the accuracy and stability of large language model (LLM) agents in clinical diagnosis. Unlike static prediction systems, EviDx facilitates an active evidence-seeking process, allowing LLMs to dynamically acquire and utilize patient evidence. The framework incorporates a clinical diagnostic scaffold and a runtime harness to manage evidence, track uncertainty, and determine when a diagnosis is sufficiently supported. Evaluations demonstrate that EviDx improves diagnostic performance and process stability, while also highlighting the varying capabilities of different LLMs in this context. AI

IMPACT Enhances LLM capabilities in clinical settings by enabling active evidence gathering and improving diagnostic accuracy.

    EviDx: Evidence-Aware Active Diagnosis with Scaffolded LLM Agents

    arXiv:2608.24570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical diagnosis is an active evidence-seeking process in which clinicians acquire evidence, update competing hypotheses, and decide when the available evidence is sufficient for diagnosis. Yet many medical diagnosis systems built…
