Evaluation format, not model capability, drives triage failure in the assessment of consumer health AI

1. 1Recognize that evaluation formats can significantly impact triage failure rates
2. 2Understand the differences between exam-style protocols and real-world consumer usage of health chatbots
3. 3Consider using more realistic evaluation formats that mimic consumer behavior
4. 4Evaluate the performance of LLMs in scenarios that allow for clarifying questions and iterative dialogue

AI engineers and researchers working on consumer health AI models can benefit from understanding the impact of evaluation formats on triage failure, as it affects the safety and efficacy of their models

💡 The evaluation format used to assess consumer health AI models can lead to inaccurate conclusions about their safety and efficacy
