Coupled Graph--Policy Distillation for Personalized Medication Safety in Older Adults with Multimorbidity

arXiv:2608. 09443v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents can support medication review between clinical visits, but safe choices for older adults with multimorbidity depend on conditions, medications, and geriatric risks that users may omit.

Knowledge-augmented Agentic AI for Mental Health Medication Information Seeking

arXiv:2606. 26205v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Patients increasingly seek medication information online, yet safety knowledge for psychiatric drugs is split between regulatory adverse-event records, which are authoritative but abstract, and patient narratives, which are experience-near but unvalidated.

A safety-oriented hypothetico-deductive framework for AI-assisted differential diagnosis

arXiv:2607. 08038v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diagnostic error is a major threat to patient safety, yet current large language model (LLM) systems often treat diagnosis as a one-shot prediction task, lacking safeguards against missed high-risk alternatives or rigorous verification of their reasoning.
