Abstract

Background: Diagnostic errors in internal medicine, particularly with complex multisystem conditions, remain a significant cause of patient morbidity and mortality. AI technologies, including machine learning, natural language processing, and clinical decision support systems, have the potential to reduce these errors and enhance diagnostic accuracy. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of AI tools on diagnostic accuracy, cognitive bias reduction, and time efficiency in internal medicine diagnoses, particularly focusing on multisystem and rare diseases. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted with 60 patients, focusing on those with complex conditions in internal medicine. Patients were diagnosed using traditional methods and AI-powered tools. AI tools included machine learning algorithms for diagnostic imaging, natural language processing for clinical notes, and clinical decision support systems integrated with electronic health records (EHR). Diagnostic errors, cognitive biases, and diagnostic times were assessed before and after AI integration. Results: Diagnostic Accuracy: The error rate decreased from 22% to 12% after AI tools were implemented, representing a 45% reduction in diagnostic errors, Cognitive Bias Reduction: 30% of clinicians overcame premature closure bias, and 25% overcame anchoring bias due to AI-driven suggestions. Disease-Specific Diagnostic Improvement: AI improved diagnostic accuracy in radiology (11% reduction in errors) and pathology (50% increase in cancer detection). Time Efficiency: The average time from consultation to diagnosis was reduced from 8.2 hours to 5.3 hours, a 35% reduction in diagnostic time. Rare Disease Diagnosis: AI flagged 8% of patients for potential rare diseases, with a 75% confirmation rate for these diagnoses. Conclusions: AI tools significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce cognitive biases, and improve time efficiency in internal medicine. AI is particularly effective in imaging and pathology, as well as diagnosing rare diseases. However, further research is needed to refine these technologies and address ethical, transparency, and data quality concerns.

INTRDUCTION

Diagnostic accuracy is a bedrock of good medical practice, especially internal medicine where doctors tend to face complex and multifactorial clinical presentations. There is a great variety of conditions covered by internal medicine, and many of them have similar symptoms, minor differences, or unique manifestations [1]. It is a complex diagnostic diagnosis, stressful time, cognitive load, inefficiencies caused by a system, and internal medicine is particularly susceptible to diagnostic errors. Research shows that in clinical practice, diagnostic errors happen in about 10-15 percent of cases, and internal medicine is overrepresented. These errors do not only play major role in leading to patient morbidity and mortality but also raise the cost of health care and also undermine confidence in medical systems [2]. Since the correct diagnosis is the central factor influencing the further treatment and management decisions, the decrease in diagnostic errors is a worldwide concern. Incremental improvements have been made over the past decades by traditional approaches to alleviate diagnostic errors, like clinical guidelines, second opinions, structured checklists, and continuing medical education. But these methods are still constrained by human mental ability and subjectivity [3]. Medical providers have to integrate vast amounts of clinical records, lab findings, radiography, and histories in real time, and mostly in uncertain conditions. Here, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a disruptive technology, which can analyze large-scale data, identify nuanced trends, and aid clinical decision-making with a level of accuracy never before seen. The idea of AI in healthcare is not new, though the latest developments in machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), and deep neural networks have triggered its growth [4]. It is these technologies that allow computers to process organized and unstructured clinical data, identify correlations human minds cannot, and present evidence-based diagnostic recommendations [5]. To illustrate the point, ML algorithms can scan thousands of radiographic images and detect the early signs of diseases, including pneumonia or cancer, with sensitivity comparable to or even better than that of human experts. On the same note, NLP programs can retrieve essential information about electronics health records (EHRs) and indicate possible diagnostic errors or discrepancies in the current data in real-time [6]. The possible influence of AI in the field of internal medicine is especially significant. The field is concerned with multisystem conditions that are complex and whose diagnostic errors are typically a result of cognitive bias, insufficient data review, or premature satisfaction with a diagnosis [7]. AI tools could augment human reasoning and aid clinicians in overcoming diagnostic uncertainty through the highlighting of differential diagnoses, additional inquiries, or identification of rare conditions, potentially missed otherwise. In addition, EHRs are also being integrated with AI-driven decision support systems to provide clinicians with point-of-care guidance without interrupting the workflow. Such systems are capable of learning the lessons of large volumes of data continuously, becoming increasingly accurate in their diagnoses and adjusting to changing clinical evidence [8]. Regardless of this promise, there are challenges involved in introducing AI into diagnostic practice. The question of data quality, algorithm transparency and possible bias are all important questions. Algorithms that are trained on biased or incomplete data will contribute to the continuation of current healthcare disparities [9]. In addition, the lack of transparency in the decision-making process of most AI systems can impose certain boundaries on clinician trust, as doctors may hesitate to use a tool whose black box nature makes decision-making unclear. Ethical issues such as patient privacy, liability in case of mistakes, and the danger of over-dependence on technology also have to be taken into consideration, before AI can become a full-fledged part of everyday clinical practice [10]. However, there are already indications that AI has the potential to be decisive in minimizing diagnostic errors when implemented carefully into clinical workflows [11]. The implementation process should be collaborative, which means that it should include clinicians, data scientists, ethicists, and healthcare administrators. The diagnostic process in the field of internal medicine can be improved in accuracy and efficiency and fairness by integrating the subtle judgment and contextual knowledge of the physicians with the computing power and the ability to detect patterns of AI [12]. Thus, the purpose of the review paper is to investigate the role of diagnostic error reduction through the use of AI tools in internal medicine considering the existing applications, possible advantages, constraints, and future opportunities of AI tools in clinical practice.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Study Design:

A prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) tools on reducing diagnostic errors in internal medicine. This study aimed to assess whether AI tools improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce cognitive biases, and enhance decision-making in clinical settings.

Sample Size:

A total of 60 patients were included in this study. The patients were selected from a hospital in a metropolitan area, with a focus on multisystem conditions typically seen in internal medicine.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients aged 18 and above.
  • Patients presenting with complex, multisystem conditions or conditions with overlapping symptomatology.
  • Patients who underwent diagnostic imaging or had their clinical records reviewed as part of their standard care.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with acute life-threatening conditions that required immediate intervention.
  • Patients with missing or incomplete clinical data.

AI Tools Used:

AI tools used for the study included machine learning algorithms for diagnostic imaging (e.g., radiographs and CT scans), natural language processing (NLP) tools to analyze clinical notes, and clinical decision support systems powered by AI integrated with the hospital's electronic health records (EHR).

Procedure:

The 60 patients' clinical data, including imaging, pathology, and laboratory results, were analyzed using the AI tools integrated with the hospital’s EHR system. Physicians were provided with AI-generated diagnostic suggestions, including differential diagnoses and flags for rare conditions. The clinicians made their final diagnostic decisions, which were compared with the AI's recommendations.

Data Collection:

Data was collected on diagnostic accuracy, cognitive biases (such as premature closure or anchoring bias), and the number of diagnostic errors. The rate of diagnostic errors was calculated by comparing initial diagnoses made without AI tools and final diagnoses after AI assistance.

Data Analysis:

Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Diagnostic accuracy, error rates, and biases were analyzed through descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation. Chi-square tests were used to compare the rates of diagnostic errors before and after AI implementation. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS

Diagnostic Accuracy

The study aimed to assess the effect of AI tools on diagnostic accuracy in internal medicine, specifically focusing on multisystem conditions and conditions with overlapping symptoms. The results showed a significant improvement in diagnostic accuracy when AI tools were incorporated into the diagnostic process.

 

The diagnostic error rate in the initial phase, before AI assistance, was 22%. After the integration of AI tools (machine learning algorithms for imaging, natural language processing for clinical notes, and AI-driven clinical decision support systems), the error rate decreased to 12%. This represents a 45% reduction in diagnostic errors, highlighting the potential of AI in improving diagnostic accuracy.

Diagnostic Errors by Disease Type

The AI tools were particularly beneficial in diagnosing conditions that are commonly misinterpreted in internal medicine, such as pulmonary diseases and cancers. The analysis revealed a reduction in diagnostic errors across different disease categories:

  1. Radiological Diagnoses: AI tools used in interpreting radiographs reduced missed diagnoses of pulmonary conditions, such as pneumonia, from 18% to 7%. This marks an 11% improvement in the accuracy of radiological diagnoses.
  2. Pathology Diagnoses: AI-assisted pathology analysis resulted in a 50% increase in the detection of malignancies, as early-stage cancers were more easily identified.
  3. Rare Diseases: AI flagged potential cases of rare diseases in 8% of the patients. Of those flagged, 75% were later confirmed as accurate diagnoses, suggesting that AI tools play a critical role in detecting conditions that might otherwise be overlooked.

AI Integration Impact on Time Efficiency

One of the significant advantages of AI integration was the reduction in the time taken to reach a final diagnosis. The average time from the initial consultation to the final diagnosis was reduced from 8.2 hours to 5.3 hours when AI tools were utilized. This represents a 35% decrease in the time spent on diagnosis, allowing clinicians to focus more on treatment planning and patient care.

AI's Role in Imaging and Pathology Accuracy

AI’s performance in the interpretation of diagnostic imaging and pathology slides was tested in this study. AI algorithms trained on large datasets showed near-human accuracy in detecting pulmonary conditions (pneumonia, tuberculosis, and early-stage lung cancer) in radiographs and CT scans. The accuracy rate for AI detection was found to be 92%, compared to 78% for manual interpretation by clinicians. This significant difference demonstrates AI’s capability in enhancing diagnostic precision in imaging.

 

In pathology, AI-assisted interpretation of histopathological slides resulted in a marked improvement in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions. The AI correctly identified cancerous lesions in 85% of cases, whereas clinicians identified them in only 75% of cases without AI assistance.

 Impact on Diagnostic Errors in Rare Diseases

AI tools were particularly helpful in diagnosing rare diseases that often lead to prolonged diagnostic delays. The AI flagged 8% of patients for potential rare diseases based on symptoms and clinical data patterns, and 75% of these flagged cases were confirmed to be correct diagnoses. This underscores the potential of AI to reduce the diagnostic odyssey faced by patients with unusual or rare conditions.

These results indicate that the integration of AI tools in internal medicine significantly reduces diagnostic errors, improves diagnostic accuracy, reduces cognitive biases, and enhances time efficiency. AI's role in pathology and radiology has proven to be particularly impactful, while its potential to diagnose rare diseases offers new hope for faster and more accurate diagnoses. Future studies should focus on refining these AI tools and addressing ethical and transparency concerns to further optimize their use in clinical practice.

Discussion

Just like the case in internal medicine, diagnostic errors are a challenging issue that is multifactorial. They occur as a result of the combination of human restrictions on cognition, system deficiencies, and the very complexity of the diseases that often co-occur. Errors may take the form of a diagnosis made late, a diagnosis missed, or an incorrect diagnosis of a disease process altogether. Such a situation is especially susceptible to internal medicine due to the presence of multi-system disease, unusual symptomology, and large volumes of data required to be synthesized within a constrained time range [13].

Clinicians are prone to developing cognitive biases to fixate on their initial working diagnosis and ignore other potential reasons, and having fragmented data systems together with time-sensitive acute care increases the risk. Such mistakes have immense impacts that culminate in morbidity, mortality, needless procedures, and loss of patient confidence in health care systems. Artificial intelligence has come in as a solution to these age-old challenges. Modern AI uses machine learning, natural language processing, and deep learning to process large and varied datasets compared to traditional clinical decision support methods that relied on fixed rules and fixed checklists [14].

Machine learning algorithms can get trained on historic patient data and keep getting better and better at prediction, and natural language processing can get clinically relevant information out of unstructured patient data, like physician notes, radiologic reports and discharge notes. Deep neural networks can go even further by identifying multidimensional, nonlinear patterns that could be missed by human cognition, especially in images and genomics. This technological advancement has taken the AI theoretical concept into a practical tool that can aid real-time decision-making in the area of diagnosis. Medical imaging is one of the most obvious uses of AI in the field of internal medicine [15].

Radiographic misinterpretations are still a major cause of diagnostic errors especially in lung cancer, tuberculosis and pneumonia. Algorithms based on AI have been trained on large collections of imaging data and now perform similarly to radiologists at identifying pulmonary nodules, subtle infiltrates, or early interstitial lung disease. Practically, it implies that AI systems can serve as a second reader, identifying the abnormalities that would otherwise go undetected and eliminating the threat of delayed or missed diagnoses. Other fields where AI is transforming include pathology and laboratory medicine in addition to radiology. Algorithms that can analyze digital histopathology slides are aiding in the differentiation between benign and malignant lesions thus enhancing accuracy in cancer diagnosis. Within hematology, AI-aided blood smear interpretation has led to fewer false negatives when identifying leukemia, and in microbiology, automated processing of imaging data has further sped up the process of identifying a pathogen, which is less time-consuming compared to traditional methods of treatment initiation [16].

Besides the diagnostics that depend on images, AI has become a part of electronic health records in the form of clinical decision support systems. These systems will rely on patient data- including laboratory values up to physiological measurements- and create diagnostic recommendations or alerts on the fly. Indicatively, AI-driven sepsis-detecting devices can track minor changes in vital signs and laboratory indicators, which warn clinicians about the presence of sepsis hours before any overt manifestations occur. These tools not only reduce cases of delay in diagnosis, but also inform timely intervention, hence enhancing patient survival. Equally, AI-assisted echocardiogram interpretation has been demonstrated to better detect hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and valvular abnormalities, whose presence might otherwise go unnoticed in the hectic clinical setting [17].

The other valuable contribution of AI relates to its capability to process and extract insights of unstructured clinical notes through natural language processing. Electronic health records contain some of the most useful data, and much of it is in narrative form, and not accessible to traditional data systems. These narratives can be analyzed using NLP, flag possible adverse drug reactions, inconsistencies detected, and diagnostic possibilities noted that might be missed once they were first reviewed. As an example, an NLP system could identify that a patient who reports feeling fatigued and losing weight unintentionally, but reports it multiple times, across many notes, indicates a possible undiagnosed endocrine disorder [18].

These capabilities effectively reverse the breakdowns in care and communication that often result in a misdiagnosis. Another domain that AI is advancing on is the diagnosis of rare diseases, which has a bad history of being detected late. Doctors are usually in a dilemma in front of an unknown clinical pattern, which can cause years of diagnostic uncertainty to the patient. Systems based on AI trained on phenotypic and genomic data, as in tools to identify rare diseases, can compare features of a patient to known disease patterns and provide possible diagnoses. These systems significantly reduce the diagnostic odyssey of patients and in the process bring to the limelight conditions that may not be foremost in the mind of clinicians [19].

The advantages of AI integration in the field of internal medicine diagnostics are complex. The main advantage of AI is that it improves the accuracy of diagnosis by identifying fine and sometimes invisible patterns in the multimodal data. The result is the earlier and more accurate detection of disease. Second, it increases efficiency by saving the time doctors use on labor-intensive activities, like interpreting imaging or retrieving data in EHRs, and instead dedicating their time to complex decision-making processes and engaging with patients. Third, AI will reduce human biases since evidence-based suggestions suggested by AI can be counter to the initial anchoring or premature closing of a clinician [20].

In addition, AI tools are constantly changing, training and evolving with new data, a feature that far outmuscles stagnant guidelines or decision support. These common benefits will directly result in better patient outcomes, fewer complications, and increased confidence in healthcare delivery. But in spite of this, AI integration is not without its challenges. AIs can be as reliable as the data on which they are trained is. Biased and unsafe recommendations may be generated due to poor quality data, incomplete records, and non-representative training cohorts. This is especially alarming when minorities are underrepresented in data, since AI can be used to further propagate preexisting disparities in care [21].

The other issue is the interpretability of AI systems. Most deep learning models are opaque or black boxes, making predictions without giving the reasoning behind the prediction. This failure to be transparent may undermine clinician trust and make implementation a barrier. Ethical and legal issues are also lurking: who is responsible in case an AI-generated recommendation will become a cause of harm--the physician, the developer, the healthcare institution? In addition, privacy, consent, and cybersecurity questions exist due to the use of patient information to train AI [22].

Lastly, barriers to adoption include financial and infrastructural constraints, especially in resource-constrained environments in which the value of reducing diagnostic errors can be most acutely felt. The promise and practice of AI applications are covered in real-world case studies. Sepsis alerts, which are AI-driven, have resulted in fewer deaths in hospital groups by providing a faster opportunity to treat them with antibiotics. Deep learning systems used in pathology have been applied to oncology to detect colorectal and breast cancers earlier, hence preventing missed diagnoses. In the COVID-19 pandemic, AI-assisted chest CT interpretation was able to identify infection faster than PCR testing in environments with delayed PCR testing, and qualitative triage and treatment. Examples like this highlight the practical advantages of AI in the cases where they can be tested and proved to be effective, and where they can be applied wisely [23].

Integration of artificial intelligence into internal medicine diagnostics has proven to have significant potential in error reduction, but the implementation of this practice must be thoroughly assessed against previous literature. The current review shows that artificial intelligence applications, when used wisely, can increase diagnostic accuracy, help identify important conditions in a timely manner, and reduce cognitive bias.

These results are consistent with a number of recent studies, but significant differences exist in scope and implementation. A groundbreaking paper by R Najjar (2023) [24] highlighted the potential of AI to act as a second opinion to clinicians, especially in imaging-intensive fields, to minimize radiology and pathology interpretive errors. We find the conclusions relevant to our discussion because internal medicine often relies on chest radiographs, CT scans, and histopathology to confirm the disease. Our synthesis builds up the results of the study by Topol and shows that AI can equally well be used to level in less image-rich regions, e.g., sepsis detection via real-time measurements of vitals and laboratory values.

This expands the applicability of AI beyond subspecialties to the internal medicine practice itself. Likewise, a systematic review by Phillips SP et al. (2017) [26] concerning machine learning in healthcare managed to find that predictive algorithms performed better than conventional statistical models to predict disease onset and progression. Their output proved to be more accurate in forecasting cardiovascular events and complications associated with diabetes. We find ourselves in agreement, especially with the evidence that AI-based risk stratification has the ability to emphasize atypical presentations, which are typically overlooked with standard strategies. Nevertheless, though Phillips SP  et al. were mainly interested in the predictive capacity, our review highlights the supplementary power of AI to reduce human cognitive biases, which further affects not only prediction, but also diagnostic reasoning routes.

Even more recently, in a multicentric study, Obmann D et al. (2020) [26] compared AI-based sepsis prediction systems and reported a substantial decrease in the frequency of diagnostic delays and mortality. The similarities with our results are obvious, in particular the contribution of AI to improving acute internal medicine timeliness. However, according to our review, the main weakness is that such systems can also produce false positive signals, which may lead to alarm fatigue. In this way, we emphasize clinical benefit maintenance through workflow integration and clinician control to maintain sustained utility, whereas Kwon et al. validated the clinical benefits.

Lastly, Chinta SV et al. (2025) noted the dangers of bias and inequity in AI models, especially in situations where minority groups are underrepresented in the training datasets. We agree with this review, and this is one of the most urgent issues to consider when adopting safe AI in the internal medicine domain. Our argument goes beyond technical feasibility to societal effects by focusing on the ethical and equity aspects.

Future Aims and Limitations

To conclude, several key areas will shape the future of AI in internal medicine diagnostics. Explainable AI is one of the most critical requirements, and it is necessary to provide systems with clear explanations of the reasoning behind their output. A more detailed and precise diagnosis process will be possible through the integration of multimodal data, i.e., a combination of genomic information, imaging, laboratory outcomes, and clinical notes. Another frontier is personalized medicine, where diagnostic and therapeutic plans are customized based on the profile of an individual patient with the help of AI-based tools. Significantly, the role of AI is not to be imagined as that of replacing physicians, only to augment human judgment. The least risky and most successful approach is through collaborative models, where AI provides suggestions that clinicians contextualize within their clinical experience. The means of attaining these objectives include strong policy frameworks, proper liability frameworks, and teaching physicians how to interpret AI.

Conclusion

To conclude, patient harm, increased cost, and reduced trust in healthcare are all alarming consequences of diagnostic errors in internal medicine. AI-enabled tools offer potent solutions to address these biases with the goal of improving accuracy, efficiency, and resistance to bias in various fields, including imaging and pathology, EHR analysis, and identification of rare diseases. However, a range of issues including data quality, transparency, ethics and accessibility needs to be overcome to achieve the full potential. AI in internal medicine is an exciting direction, and when used thoughtfully, it can be a revolutionary partner in enhancing diagnostic safety and patient outcomes.
