Care Plan Generation for Underserved Patients Using Multi-Agent Language Models: Applying Nash Game Theory to Optimize Multiple Objectives

This study demonstrates that a Nash bargaining-based multi-agent language model framework significantly improves the safety and efficiency of care plans for underserved Medicaid patients compared to a single-model baseline, while highlighting that equity requires explicit design attention rather than emerging automatically from multi-objective optimization.

OCR-Mediated Modality Dominance in Vision-Language Models: Implications for Radiology AI Trustworthiness

This study demonstrates that commercial vision-language models are critically vulnerable to adversarial attacks where OCR-readable text overlays override visual evidence in radiology tasks, causing widespread diagnostic failures that prompt-level defenses cannot reliably mitigate, thereby necessitating strict system-level safeguards before clinical deployment.

Fully Automated Systematic Review Generation via Large Language Models: Quality Assessment and Implications for Scientific Publishing

This study demonstrates that a fully automated pipeline using large language models can generate systematic reviews with citation accuracy and expert-rated quality surpassing human-authored counterparts, while simultaneously revealing critical limitations in information breadth and the urgent need for new verification standards and AI literacy in scientific publishing.

Handling onset age inconsistencies in longitudinal healthcare survey data

This paper proposes and evaluates two methods—a reliability score-based stratification and a Bayesian adjustment model—to resolve inconsistencies in self-reported onset ages within longitudinal healthcare surveys, demonstrating that both approaches significantly enhance data quality, predictive performance, and disease clustering coherence using data from the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow's Health.

Clinicians' Rationale for Editing Ambient AI-Drafted Clinical Notes: Persistent Challenges and Implications for Improvement

This study of 30 clinicians reveals that edits to ambient AI-drafted clinical notes are primarily driven by the need to correct transcription errors, ensure clinical accuracy, mitigate liability risks, and meet billing standards, highlighting the necessity for improved AI customization, integration, and institutional support to enhance human-AI collaboration.

Clinicians Visual Attention During Suicide Screening Encounters: An Exploratory Eye-Tracking Study

This exploratory eye-tracking study reveals that primary care clinicians divert substantial visual attention to electronic health records to verify suicide risk indicators, often delaying patient discussions until confirming relevant data, thereby illustrating how EHR-embedded tools shape clinical attention and encounter flow.

Leveraging Expert Knowledge and Causal Structure Learning to Build Parsimonious Models of Acute Brain Dysfunction in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

By integrating clinician expertise with causal structure learning algorithms on 18,568 pediatric intensive care unit encounters, this study demonstrates that identifying plausible causal drivers of acute brain dysfunction enables the creation of parsimonious predictive models with only 14 biomarkers that achieve performance comparable to models using all 45 available variables.
