An AI system spent 100 clinical scenarios watching patients on video, listening to their breathing, and guiding them through physical examination maneuvers on camera. A panel of 20 primary care physicians then graded those consultations against the same encounters run by 10 board-certified doctors using the identical video interface.
On history-taking thoroughness, diagnostic accuracy, management appropriateness, and communication quality, the graders rated the machine on par with the physicians. On eliciting physical signs and guiding patients through virtual examinations, they rated it significantly higher.
