Daniel Truhn, Frederik Hauke, Jakob Nikolas Kather, Juliana De Castilhos, Mathis Bode, Sven Nebelung, Zihao Zhao

Clinicians can build working AI models for medical imaging by describing their goals in plain language to an autonomous coding agent.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

autonomous coding agents may help shift clinical AI development toward a more clinician-driven paradigm, reducing the communication overhead and dependence on specialized AI developers.

C2weakest assumption

That the autonomous coding agent can reliably translate ambiguous or high-level clinician intent into correct, high-performing model code and training procedures without introducing critical errors or hidden biases.

C3one line summary

An autonomous coding-agent framework allows clinicians to independently develop clinical AI models via natural language, achieving promising results on lesion classification, fracture detection, and debiased pneumothorax tasks.
