Announcing Lavita AI’s latest research, accepted to Advancements In Medical Foundation Models at NeurIPS 2024, and powered by our DeSci Platform
We’re thrilled to announce that Lavita AI’s research on building a new, publicly available Medical QA Benchmark has been accepted to the AIM-FM: Advancements in Medical Foundation Models at NeurIPS 2024, the leading AI research conference in the world! We’ll be in Vancouver this December to share our work:

Lavita AI provides DeSci Platform for Producing High-Quality Research
Our benchmark leverages real-world consumer questions, collected directly Lavita Medical AI Assist and features open-access annotations from medical doctors. Through this effort, we aim to foster transparency, collaboration, and progress in understanding the strengths and limitations of foundation models in healthcare.
As Generative AI continues to transform healthcare, rigorous evaluation is essential, particularly for consumer-facing applications where precision matters and errors can carry significant risks. At Lavita AI, we see this benchmark as more than a research milestone — it’s a step forward in our groundbreaking initiative, the Lavita Medical Evaluation Sphere. This pioneering DeSci platform is dedicated to advancing medical AI evaluations across diverse tasks and scaling these efforts to meet real-world needs.
Top AI Institutes and Researchers as Partners
This work builds upon our ongoing collaboration with the Dartmouth Center for Precision Health and Artificial Intelligence (CPHAI), co-led by our advisor, Prof. Saeed Hassanpour, and an incredible team of medical doctors at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Their insights have been instrumental in helping us push the boundaries of Medical AI evaluation.
If you’re as passionate about advancing AI in healthcare as we are — or if you’re a medical professional interested in contributing to future rounds of our projects — let’s connect! We’d love to meet during NeurIPS in Vancouver. Feel free to reach out.
