LLMs enhanced for medical Q&A via agentic reasoning and peer review

Researchers have developed two novel approaches to enhance medical question answering using large language models. The first, WEQA, is a query-adaptive agent framework that integrates LLM reasoning with specialized wearable data analysis tools, achieving a 24% accuracy improvement over baselines and demonstrating substantial gains in usefulness and clinical soundness in expert evaluations. The second approach employs a multi-agent system where LLMs act as peer reviewers, evaluating each other's reasoning chains for accuracy and logical soundness. This peer-reviewed method, tested on several state-of-the-art LLMs and benchmark datasets, consistently outperformed single-model reasoning and majority voting, with the best combination reaching an average accuracy of 0.820.
