aiqbench analysis
MMTClinic introduces a critical benchmark for evaluating large language models on complex clinical reasoning tasks involving text, images, and physiological time-series data across five languages. By exposing significant performance gaps in mortality prediction and heart rate forecasting, this resource directly addresses the need for linguistically inclusive and modality-aware AI systems in healthcare. The dataset's release will likely accelerate research into robust medical AI capable of handling dynamic patient health trajectories.
MMTClinic: Multimodal, Multilingual Time Series Question Answering and Reasoning Benchmark for Clinical Domain
arXiv:2609.04842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time-series data in clinical settings is crucial for capturing dynamic changes in a patient's health over time, enabling timely diagnosis, personalized treatment, and early detection of critical events. However, the development of clinically reliable and linguistically inclusive medical AI systems remains a significant challenge, primarily due to the lack of multimodal, multilingual, and time-series-grounded benchmarks that reflect the complexity of real-world clinical scenarios. To fill this gap, we present MMTClinic, a benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on complex reasoning and question-answering tasks involving clinical time-series. MMTClinic combines text, medical images, and multivariate physiological signals and includes 30,000 QA pairs (15,000 multiple choice questions (MCQs) and 15,000 open-ended questions) across five languages: English, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, and Tamil. These questions cover three important clinical tasks---mortality prediction, heart rate forecasting, and SOFA score estimation. We evaluate 13 state-of-the-art LLMs in zero-shot, few-shot, and chain-of-thought settings. Our evaluation reveals notable differences in model performance across tasks, languages, and modalities, highlighting current limitations in clinical reasoning capabilities. MMTClinic provides a valuable resource for advancing multilingual, multimodal, and time-series-aware medical AI research. The dataset will be made publicly available on successful acceptance of the work.
