The Microsoft AI team shares research that demonstrates how AI can sequentially investigate and solve medicine’s most complex diagnostic challenges—cases that expert physicians struggle to answer.
Benchmarked against real-world case records published each week in the New England Journal of Medicine, we show that the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) correctly diagnoses up to 85% of NEJM case proceedings, a rate more than four times higher than a group of experienced physicians. MAI-DxO also gets to the correct diagnosis more cost-effectively than physicians.
People don’t realize how much doctors leverage opening old books, reading subscription articles and looking at case files to help their patients out.
Anything that can aide in the diagnosis and treatment of patients is a good thing, even if it’s AI.

Have you tried swapping out the part (CPU/videocard/memory/random component) whilst the patient is still running?
Doctors do this all the time! ;)
