Description
Dyke Ferber leads a large team introducing MIRA in a 2026 paper, a self-directed artificial intelligence agent built to manage patient cases inside an electronic health record. Unlike chat tools that answer single questions, MIRA works inside a sealed record system. Its access to patient data is governed, and it may start only defined actions.
In tests on real patient cases, the agent took histories and ordered lab, imaging and microbiology tests. It read the results, built a list of possible diagnoses, and drafted treatment plans. Those plans covered prescriptions, surgery bookings and admission decisions. It beat the doctors on diagnostic accuracy in these tests. Its choices followed guidelines and kept medication use safe. The authors present the study as early proof that agents built into the record can handle whole cases, within strict safety limits.
