Agents in Medicine
Medical agents help with documentation (ambient scribes), imaging (X-ray review), and even clinical decision support.
The agents don't make diagnoses — they support doctors who do.
Three rules for medical agents
- Doctor still makes the diagnosis
- Patient should be told AI was used
- Audit logs are required for compliance
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: Medical agents are spreading fast. The doctor's judgment is still the law and the standard of care.
