Diagnosing diabetes may soon be as easy as breathing into a bag
In the U.S., one in five of the 37 million adults who has diabetes doesn't know it. Current methods of diagnosing diabetes and prediabetes usually require a visit to a doctor's office or lab work, both of which can be expensive and time-consuming. Now, diagnosing diabetes and prediabetes may be as simple as breathing.

Simulating Clinical AI Assistance using Multimodal LLMs: A Case Study in Diabetic Retinopathy

Yet, determining the most effective output format to enhance clinician-AI performance is an empirical challenge that is difficult to assess at scale. We evaluated multimodal large language models (MLLMs) for DR detection and thei…
