SymptomAI: A Conversational AI Agent for Initial Symptom Assessment from Google Research

Researchers at Google Research have introduced SymptomAI, an experimental conversational AI agent based on Gemini Flash 2.0 for symptom assessment and differential diagnosis. In a national study involving 13,917 participants, the system demonstrated differential diagnostic accuracy at least as good as real physicians in over 50% of cases, with agentic questioning strategies significantly outperforming passive mode. Additionally, AI diagnoses correlated with physiological signals from wearable devices (Fitbit), opening possibilities for large-scale research.
