Clinical Reasoning

Clinical reasoning, the cognitive process of diagnosing and treating patients, is a focus of intense research leveraging large language models (LLMs). Current efforts concentrate on improving LLMs' ability to handle complex, multi-step diagnoses by integrating knowledge graphs, refining tokenization methods for clinical text, and developing interactive question-answering frameworks that mimic physician-patient interactions. This research aims to enhance the reliability and explainability of AI-driven clinical decision support, ultimately improving diagnostic accuracy and patient care, particularly in resource-constrained settings.
