MMTClinic is a new benchmark that tests large language models on complex reasoning and question‑answering tasks involving clinical time‑series data. It combines text, medical images, and multivariate physiological signals to create 30,000 QA pairs—including 15,000 multiple‑choice and 15,000 open‑ended questions—in five languages (English, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, and Tamil). The benchmark covers mortality prediction, heart‑rate forecasting, and SOFA score estimation, and evaluates 13 state‑of‑the‑art LLMs across zero‑shot, few‑shot, and chain‑of‑thought settings, revealing significant performance gaps across tasks, languages, and modalities.

The paper introduces BRIE, a continuously maintainable benchmark for evaluating large language models (LLMs) in electronic health record (EHR) information retrieval. It presents a scalable framework that automatically generates question–answer pairs from longitudinal EHR notes, validated by nineteen clinicians. The benchmark allows assessment of multiple inference strategies and highlights that state‑of‑the‑art LLMs often miss clinically important information, especially when synthesis across documents is required.

The paper introduces BRIE, a scalable framework that automatically creates question–answer pairs from longitudinal electronic health record notes, validated by nineteen clinicians. It offers a continuously maintainable benchmark for evaluating large language models in clinical settings, addressing limitations of manual, costly, and quickly outdated existing benchmarks. Experiments across nine LLMs and five inference strategies reveal that even state‑of‑the‑art systems often miss clinically important information, especially for synthesis‑heavy queries.
