Toward Transparent AI-Enabled Patient Selection in Cosmetic Surgery by Integrating Reasoning and Medical LLMs
摘要
Existing AI solutions—like the XGBoost tool by Li et al.—show potential for preoperative screening but rely on fixed questionnaires and opaque feature weighting. We introduce a hybrid framework that combines reasoning LLMs (OpenAI o3, DeepSeek R1, Google Gemini 2.5, Anthropic Claude 3.7 Sonnet) with specialty medical models (Baichuan-M1, Zhipu AI GLM-4-9B-Chat, OpenBioLLM-Llama-70B, MedLLaMA3-v20, Med-PaLM 2, SurgeryLLM). Patient inputs—structured and free-text—are ingested via a secure mobile app and processed through a retrieval-augmented pipeline. Reasoning LLMs expose chain-of-thought steps for full transparency, while medical LLMs validate each risk factor against clinical guidelines. An ensemble then delivers a composite suitability score, complete with an audit trail of data points and citations. We address key hurdles—model recency, hallucination control, data privacy, and fairness—and recommend a medical-device regulatory approach with independent validation, ongoing bias monitoring, and co-design with multidisciplinary stakeholders.
