Researchers have developed ActiveMedAgent, a new framework designed to improve multimodal medical AI by mimicking the cost-aware sequential decision-making process of human clinicians. This agent learns to strategically acquire additional diagnostic evidence, balancing diagnostic utility against acquisition costs. Experiments across three benchmarks demonstrated that ActiveMedAgent consistently outperformed unguided acquisition and full-modality baselines, even identifying an information overload effect where omitting certain data led to correct diagnoses. AI
