Implication

Randomized trial shows improved clinical decision support in diabetes management, suggesting enhanced AI capabilities.

Key Points

The aim was to improve type 2 diabetes management using locally fine-tuned large language models, addressing privacy concerns.
Developed a model (OLYMPUS) using synthetic data from clinical cases of 80 subjects with T2D.
Fine-tuned Sophia on 744 synthetic T2D cases validated by an endocrinologist.
Compared Asclepius's performance with GPT-4o using blinded evaluations from three independent endocrinologists.
Asclepius outperformed GPT-4o with a score of 4.08±1.00 compared to 3.88±1.00 (p=0.002).
Asclepius showed a 5.3% overall improvement across all tested domains.
Higher ratings were consistently given to Asclepius by all evaluators regarding treatment and guideline adherence.
