MMedAgent-Plus: Scaling Multimodal Medical Agents across Modalities, Tasks and Workflows

We introduce MMedAgent-Plus, a multimodal medical tool-use agent that combines a vision-language planner with 18 leading specialist models spanning 12 tasks and 8 modalities.

Key points

  • Medical workflows often require multiple interdependent analyses, but existing specialist and generalist AI models are not designed to coordinate them.
  • The planner is instruction-tuned on 208,928 samples from 32 public medical benchmarks, covering single- and multi-tool interactions across single and multiple rounds.
  • We separately evaluate tool orchestration, response synthesis, and end-to-end execution on held-out samples.
  • MMedAgent-Plus achieves tool-call accuracies of 91.0%, 98.1%, and 80.7% in single-tool multi-round, multi-tool multi-round, and multi-tool single-round settings, respectively.
