Massive Online Open Validation and Evaluation of Large Language Models for Resource Constrained Settings - a Study of Contextual Awareness, Safety, and Accuracy
Sponsor: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
Summary
Healthcare settings in low and middle income countries, clinicians are frequently required to manage a wide range of acute conditions under the constraints of time pressure, limited diagnostic resources, and variable availability of up-to-date clinical guidelines. Large language models (LLMs), which can synthesize and generate medical information in a natural language, have been proposed as potential clinical decision support tools. Most evaluations of LLMs in medicine have relied on standardized benchmark examinations or hypothetical case vignettes, often derived from high-income country contexts. MOOVE (Massive online open validation and evaluation) framework was developed to address the need for rigorous and context-sensitive evaluation of LLMs through a staged approach. Study is a non-interventional, prospective study designed to test LLMs safely in real clinical settings, evaluate their performance against human care, and explore how feasible their future implementation in healthcare might be.
