Medicine is inherently multimodal; clinicians interpret data from various modalities when providing care, including clinical notes, laboratory tests, vital signs and observations, medical images, and genomics. Since global issues like clinician burnout and lack of access to quality healthcare were rising, the emergence of foundation models turned out to be a turning point in addressing and solving these global problems.
Med-PaLM M is a large multimodal generative model that interprets biomedical data spanning clinical language, medical imaging, genomics, and more performing competently on a diverse array of tasks — all with the same set of model weights.
It is built by fine-tuning and aligning PaLM-E — a language model developed by the researchers at Google AI using MultiMedBench, a newly curated open-source biomedical benchmark. MultiMedBench contains 14 diverse tasks such as medical question answering, mammography and dermatology image interpretation, radiology report generation and summarization, and genomic variant calling.
