In the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a transformative innovation poised to significantly enhance patient care. This study evaluates Medily AI and compares its performance with ChatGPT-4 using objective measures. The primary objective is to assess Medily AI's potential to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of healthcare delivery in the UK.

Methods:
To evaluate Medily AI’s effectiveness, we analysed its responses to 200 publicly available UKMLA practice questions and six clinical cases sourced from MedPix, a comprehensive medical image database. We benchmarked Medily AI’s outputs against those of practicing clinicians and ChatGPT-4. Additionally, we conducted a survey among healthcare professionals to gauge their perspectives on integrating AI into clinical practice.

Results:
Medily AI demonstrated robust diagnostic accuracy, achieving an average success rate of 89.0% on UKMLA questions, surpassing ChatGPT-4’s performance at 76.3%. In the MedPix cases, Medily AI consistently matched or closely approximated responses from experienced clinicians, confirming its proficiency in generating precise differential diagnoses and treatment plans. Survey results indicated that 95% of healthcare professionals recognise the potential benefits of AI in patient care, with 76% frequently encountering scenarios where AI could enhance clinical outcomes.

Discussion:
These findings underscore AI’s potential to revolutionise healthcare by offering precise, evidence-based diagnostic support. Its consistent performance in clinical scenarios suggests that AI tools like Medily AI can significantly alleviate medical staff workloads, improve patient outcomes, and promote a more efficient healthcare system. Continued research and development are essential to fully exploit AI's potential.
