This paper, based on arXiv:2609.02191v1, investigates the fault points of multi‑agent medical systems—moments in AI agent conversations where reasoning is most susceptible to external influence. Using the MedQA dataset, we simulated doctor‑patient dialogues to quantify how human interventions shift reasoning paths and diagnostic accuracy.
Results show that correct intervention methods can boost baseline diagnostic accuracy by up to 40%, whereas incorrect or bias‑laden interventions degrade performance by as much as 6% and increase diagnostic drift and uncertainty.
The analysis also uncovers behavioral parallels between cognitive biases in simulated agents and real‑world clinical practice, such as premature closure and susceptibility to misleading cues.
Overall, identifying fault points and guiding appropriate human interventions may provide a viable route to enhance the robustness of multi‑agent medical diagnostics.
