OpenAI has introduced HealthBench, an open-source benchmark designed to rigorously evaluate the performance and safety of large language models (LLMs) in realistic healthcare scenarios. This initiative addresses limitations in existing models' abilities to handle specific medical contexts, which often rely on narrow, structured formats like multiple-choice exams that fail to capture the complexity of real-world clinical interactions. Developed with the input of 262 physicians across 60 countries and 26 medical specialties, HealthBench aims to improve the realism of evaluations and improve AI performance across various healthcare scenarios and diagnostic categories.
HealthBench uses 5,000 multi-turn conversations between models and either lay users or healthcare professionals, reflecting real-world applicability. Each conversation ends with a user prompt, with model responses assessed using example-specific rubrics written by physicians. Over 48,000 unique criteria are evaluated, covering behavioral attributes such as clinical accuracy, communication clarity, completeness, and instruction adherence. OpenAI utilizes a model-based grader validated against expert judgment for scoring, ensuring a comprehensive and standardized evaluation process.
The benchmark is organized across seven key themes, including emergency referrals, global health, health data tasks, context-seeking, expertise-tailored communication, response depth, and responding under uncertainty. Notably, recent tests showed that physicians did not improve upon AI outputs of recent models, indicating recent AI advancement in creating healthcare-related responses. The results of the HealthBench benchmark demonstrate an impressive ability of the latest AI models to answer health care questions on par or better than human physicians in certain situations.
