speaker_0HOST
And it's not just Microsoft.
speaker_0HOST
Back in April, Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston published a study, also in science, testing an open AI reasoning model on real ER patients.
speaker_0HOST
They used only what was in the electronic record at each step, from triage to admission.
speaker_0HOST
The model matched... or beat the experienced physicians.

Our main story today is Microsoft's diagnostic system, MAIDXO, and whether its step-by-step approach can help medical teams gather the evidence that leads to a useful diagnosis.
Jesse OwenHOST
On the 22nd of October, Microsoft published new results in Science and announced a prospective evaluation with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Jesse OwenHOST
Prospective means the researchers will assess the system as patient interactions happen.
Jesse OwenHOST
That's the next stage of this work, following a study built around simulated medical cases.

LauraHOST
which is why the next step matters so much.
LauraHOST
Microsoft is partnering with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston to test the system in emergency and urgent care, comparing its recommendations with the choices doctors make for consenting patients in real time.
ChrisHOST
And I assume the AI is not actually treating anyone in that study.
ChrisHOST
It is more of a shadow mode, where the system makes its call quietly in the background and the researchers compare it later against what the human team decided.
LauraHOST
That is the design as described, and they also want to look at triage in emergency department waiting rooms.
LauraHOST
Dominic King said he expects it to be the largest study of its kind, which is a bold claim we should hold them to.
ChrisHOST
And Google is running a similar playbook, right? I believe their diagnostic system also went through Beth Israel.
ChrisHOST
So it feels like the big labs are now racing toward the same hospitals for clinical validation.
Rob DunwoodHOST
