Idea
A multi-agent AI diagnosis platform that enhances clinical decision accuracy for healthcare providers using self-learned medical knowledge.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper presents MACD, a multi-agent system where LLMs self-learn and iteratively refine clinical knowledge to improve diagnosis accuracy. Unlike prior methods focusing on isolated inferences, MACD accumulates reusable diagnostic experience and supports human-agent collaboration for complex cases. It also provides traceable rationales, enhancing explainability and practical clinical adoption.

Research Paper Overview
MACD: Multi-Agent Clinical Diagnosis with Self-Learned Knowledge for LLM
Summary
This study introduces MACD, a multi-agent framework enabling large language models to self-learn and apply clinical knowledge for improved diagnosis. It mimics physician expertise development through iterative summarization and refinement of diagnostic insights. The system supports collaboration between multiple LLM agents and human oversight, achieving significant accuracy gains over clinical guidelines and physicians on real-world patient data. MACD also offers explainable rationales and demonstrates strong knowledge transfer and personalization across models, bridging LLM capabilities with practical clinical use.
