Message from the Division Chief:

The Division of Computational Medicine in the Department of Medicine develops the information science, computational technology, and standards needed to advance modern healthcare and biomedical research efficiently and safely. Located at the Stanford Research Park, we create and apply computational methods for the management, communication, and analysis of complex biomedical data and knowledge. Our close connection with Stanford’s world-class healthcare delivery system, biomedical research community, and industry partners uniquely enables Computational Medicine to translate scientific discovery into tools that are used routinely in real-world settings.

Performance of a Large Language Model on the Reasoning Tasks of a Physician

In a new Science study, Ethan Goh, Evelyn Bin Ling, Jason Hom, Jonathan Chen, and colleagues from Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center evaluated the OpenAI o1 model against hundreds of physicians across real-world clinical scenarios. The model outperformed both clinicians and prior systems in diagnosis and management, underscoring its growing potential in clinical care.
