A new framework called <strong>HealthQ<\/strong> has been developed to systematically evaluate how well Large Language Models (LLMs) formulate questions in medical contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research team built customized LLM healthcare chains simulating a doctor&#8217;s role, utilizing techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Chain of Thought (CoT) reasoning. HealthQ introduces a robust assessment methodology that pairs an <strong>LLM Judge<\/strong> (evaluating relevance, specificity, and usefulness) with traditional Natural Language Processing (NLP) metrics to analyze simulated patient-doctor interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Findings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study demonstrated that advanced LLM chains, particularly those incorporating reflection and iterative reasoning, significantly outperform basic standalone models. High-quality, specific questions generated by these advanced chains successfully elicited more comprehensive and accurate patient information, proving the undeniable link between question quality and diagnostic accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By shifting the focus from static question-answering to dynamic, multi-turn information elicitation, HealthQ establishes a vital benchmark for future digital health AI. This paves the way for virtual assistants and clinical support systems that can reliably navigate complex healthcare conversations and ultimately improve patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Authors:<\/strong> Ziyu Wang, Hao Li, Di Huang, Hye-Sung Kim, Chae-Won Shin, Amir M.
