CAIR Unveils CARES 4.0 Multimodal Clinical Agent That Suggests Rather Than Decides

Hong Kong's Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences, unveiled CARES 4.0, a multimodal clinical AI agent that carries out tasks rather than only answering questions about images or video.

Built on the Harness agent framework and CAIR's own CT, MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy and EEG foundation models, it has been validated at several top-tier hospitals.

CAIR says the system gives suggestions with reasoning paths and sources, and that the doctor remains the final decision-maker.
