This study demonstrates that a specialized clinical AI system (Doctorina) significantly outperforms both human physicians and frontier general-purpose language models in primary care diagnostics and management within synthetic Polish-language consultations. The results highlight the critical distinction between domain-specific medical AI and broad frontier models, showing that the latter lag behind even when compared against human doctors in this specific healthcare context.
Performance of Clinical AI System and Physicians and Frontier Language Models in primary care diagnostics
arXiv:2609.09070v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical AI evaluation should encompass diagnosis and management after adaptive information gathering. We compared Doctorina, eight physicians and four standalone frontier language models in 150 synthetic Polish-language primary-care consultations. Doctorina achieved 82.0% Top-1 concordance versus 57.0% for physicians (difference, 25.0 percentage points; 95% confidence interval, 17.7-32.7) and 97.3% versus 85.0% primary-or-reference-differential concordance. Across 149 case pairs, normalized workup and treatment scores were 89.4 versus 66.9 and 83.7 versus 61.2. Doctorina had the highest diagnostic point estimates among all six groups; Kimi K3 ranked next, while Claude Opus 5 led the closely spaced management estimates of Opus, Doctorina and Kimi. A second Doctorina execution reproduced the advantages over physicians across all outcomes. Doctorina's advantage over physicians therefore extended from primary-diagnosis selection to higher-rated diagnostic workup and initial treatment after adaptive consultation.
