A second clinical check can miss the same thing
Amoei, Fraser and Poenaru argue that a second check helps only if it catches errors the first reviewer misses. They propose checking where clinicians and AI tools make the same mistakes. No clinical trial or patient benefit is reported.
What the source reports
A doctor and an AI tool can agree and still both be wrong. Amoei, Fraser and Poenaru propose a way for clinics to compare their mistakes on the same cases. The key question is whether the second check catches a different error, not just whether it agrees with the first. Their paper sets out a plan for an audit and ongoing safeguards. It does not report a clinical trial or prove that patients are safer. The AI Agency digest suggests testing the idea on consented or de-identified past cases. That is a design exercise, not advice to use an AI tool on live patients.
