RareAgents: Autonomous Multi-disciplinary Team for Rare Disease Diagnosis and Treatment

Understand

Rare diseases, despite their low individual incidence, collectively impact around 300 million people worldwide due to the vast number of diseases.

• The involvement of multiple organs and systems, and the shortage of specialized doctors with relevant experience, make diagnosing and treating rare diseases more challenging than common diseases.
• Recently, agents powered by large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated notable applications across various domains.
• In the medical field, some agent methods have outperformed direct prompts in question-answering tasks from medical examinations.
