Google AMIE: Can You Use Google's AI Doctor?

Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer — status as of October 2026

AMIE is a conversational diagnostic AI built by Google Research and Google DeepMind. It takes a medical history by chat and proposes a differential diagnosis. As of October 2026 it is a research system only: there is no public app, API or waitlist. Its first real-world study, with 98 patients at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, was published in The Lancet in October 2026.

Developer: Google Research & Google DeepMind
Public access: Not available (research only)
What it does: Diagnostic dialogue & disease management
Latest milestone: The Lancet, October 2026

AMIE itself is not open to the public. Dr7's medical AI chat below is a different system: describe your symptoms and it will ask follow-up questions and suggest possible causes. It is for education only and does not replace a doctor.

Can you use Google AMIE? How to access it

No. Google has not released AMIE to the public. There is no AMIE app, website, API or waitlist, and Google does not sell it to clinics. Patients have only met AMIE inside supervised research studies.

AMIE has been tested in simulated consultations with patient actors and, more recently, with real patients in an IRB-approved study at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where physicians supervised every conversation.
In February 2026 Google announced a nationwide randomized study with the US virtual-care provider Included Health. Participants are recruited through that study; results have not been published yet.
Google's AMIE page only invites research-focused health organizations to propose partnerships. Apps or websites that claim to offer "Google AMIE" are not Google's system.
Note: amie.so is an unrelated calendar and note-taking app.

Key AMIE results

Numbers as reported in the peer-reviewed papers

Study	Result	Source
Real-world feasibility study: 98 patients before urgent primary-care visits (BIDMC, Boston)	0 conversations stopped for safety; final diagnosis in AMIE's differential in 90% of cases, in its top 3 in 75%	The Lancet, Oct 2026
Text consultations vs 20 primary care physicians, 159 case scenarios with patient actors	Rated better on 30 of 32 axes by specialists and 25 of 26 axes by patient actors	Nature, Apr 2025
Multi-visit disease management vs 21 primary care physicians, 100 case scenarios	Non-inferior on management reasoning; more precise treatment and investigation plans, better guideline alignment	Nature, Jun 2026

Simulated studies used trained patient actors, not real patients. The Lancet study was a single-center feasibility study with physician oversight, not a trial of clinical outcomes.

Google AMIE FAQ

Short, sourced answers

Is Google AMIE available to the public?

No. As of October 2026 AMIE is a research system. Google has not released an AMIE app, website or API, and has not announced a public launch date.

What does AMIE stand for?

AMIE stands for Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer. It is a large language model–based AI system from Google Research and Google DeepMind, optimized for diagnostic conversations and, in later work, for multi-visit disease management.

How can I try AMIE?

Only by taking part in a research study run with Google's partners, such as the Included Health randomized study announced in February 2026. There is no sign-up for individuals. To try a conversational medical AI today, you can use the free Dr7 chat on this page — it is a different system, not AMIE.

What did the Lancet AMIE study find?

In 98 adult patients who chatted with AMIE before an urgent primary-care visit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, no conversation had to be stopped for safety reasons. AMIE's differential included the final diagnosis in 90% of cases and its top three in 75%. It was a single-center feasibility study with real-time physician supervision.

Is AMIE better than doctors?

In simulated text consultations with patient actors (Nature, 2025), specialists rated AMIE better than primary care physicians on 30 of 32 axes. Simulations are not real clinical practice, and in the real-world study physicians still outperformed AMIE on the practicality and cost-effectiveness of management plans.

Is AMIE the same as Gemini, MedGemma or Med-PaLM?

No. AMIE is a separate research system for medical conversations. MedGemma is a family of open medical models that anyone can download; Med-PaLM 2 was an earlier Google medical language model. Google built multimodal AMIE on Gemini 2.0 Flash, but AMIE is not available inside the Gemini app.

Is Dr7.ai affiliated with Google or AMIE?

No. Dr7.ai is independent and is not affiliated with Google. The chat on this page does not run AMIE; it is Dr7's own medical AI assistant, for educational use only.
