In this episode, we explore LLM-based medical agents, their architecture, applications, and challenges. Healthcare faces a perfect storm: ageing populations, labor shortages, and rising healthcare costs. Can AI agents be the solution?

The study analyzes 60 studies on medical LLM agents, covering:

• Multi-agent architectures & clinical decision support

• The security dilemma: protecting patient data when your API is just text

• Prompt injection attacks & HIPAA compliance challenges

• Liability concerns in AI-powered healthcare
