Description

Yu and co-authors test whether chatbots can diagnose a mouth disease from photos in this 2024 study. Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory condition that is hard to spot early. Diagnosis usually rests on a clinician's experience and judgment.

The team gathered lesion images from 128 confirmed patients. Three AI platforms judged the images, first cold and then after feature training. Training lifted recognition sharply: one model rose from 59 to 77 percent, another from 68 to 80, and a third from 15 to 50. Cheek lesions were easiest, reaching the mid-90s for two models. Gum lesions stayed hard, near 60 percent at best. The authors see promise with clear site limits.
