A Cloud-Edge System for Multimodal Clinical Screening in Resource-Constrained Rural Settings

arXiv:2608. 12745v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical AI has demonstrated specialist-level diagnostic accuracy, yet these capabilities remain largely inaccessible in resource-constrained rural settings where bandwidth is scarce, compute is limited, and clinical decision-making requires integrating heterogeneous modalities.

A Cloud-Edge System for Multimodal Clinical Screening in Resource-Constrained Rural Settings

Medical AI has demonstrated specialist-level diagnostic accuracy, yet these capabilities remain largely inaccessible in resource-constrained rural settings where bandwidth is scarce, compute is limited, and clinical decision-making requires integrating heterogeneous modalities. We introduce a cloud--edge collaborative architecture that addresses these constraints: lightweight, domain-specific models on the edge transform raw medical data into compact structured outputs, while a cloud LLM synthesizes these outputs into clinical summaries.

MedUAG: Unified Understanding and Generation for Medical Multimodal Models

The paper introduces MedUAG, a unified medical multimodal model that supports both understanding and generation tasks. It presents MedUAGCorpus, the largest dataset of over 6 million instances across 14 imaging modalities, and MedUAGBench, a benchmark covering 12 diverse generation tasks with standardized protocols. Experiments show that MedUAG performs strongly across many medical understanding and generation tasks, setting a competitive baseline for future medical multimodal systems.
