Can AI models answer infectious-disease pharmacy exams? Five scored near 90%—but images and harder reasoning exposed gaps

Pharmacy students may use model errors as learning material, but need instructors to check rationales and protect assessment integrity.

Health & Life Sciences · Studied

Do AI scribes help equally across patient languages? A 209,009-encounter study found uneven associations

Clinicians may finish documentation sooner in some language-concordant visits, but health systems should not assume the same benefit in interpreter-mediated care.

Health & Life Sciences · Studied

Can an adult heart model read a child’s ECG? Fine-tuning helped—but clinical testing was small

Children could benefit from more consistent preliminary ECG review where paediatric expertise is limited, but the model has not been tested as an autonomous diagnostic system.

Can a camera-based gait model reveal health across the body? A 3,328-person study found broad associations

Patients could eventually receive a richer functional assessment from a short movement recording, but the study did not test diagnosis, referrals, treatment or health outcomes.

Can a rating scale show whether a health chatbot is good? CHARS tested experience—not clinical safety

Patients and carers may benefit when services systematically capture whether a chatbot is understandable and usable, but a pleasant interaction must not substitute for accurate care.
