Description of the use case

The second use case is concerned with the topic of medical diagnosis. It is set in a mid-future scenario, in which significant progress in AI has been made. In this use case, we estimate that the artificial agent can complete similar tasks to a human expert in his or her domain, in this case a doctor. The artificial agent will carry out entire diagnoses with patients, starting with the anamnesis, followed by formulating an initial suspicion, testing for these suspicions and lastly suggesting treatments, in case a suspicion has shown a high degree of certainty.
