Google researchers built AMIE, an AI system for clinical conversations. It securely gathers and summarizes patient information before appointments. Doctors then spend more time on collaborative care and treatment options. AMIE asks targeted follow-up questions beyond standard intake forms. A trained physician oversaw every AMIE-patient interaction in the study. No interventions were needed during those interactions. AMIE started as text chat and now supports images. Researchers are expanding it to audio and video interactions. A follow-up study will test AMIE across the US with more patients. The goal is to give physicians more time with patients.
