Summary

• What is new: Introduction of OpenMEDLab, a platform integrating pre-trained generalist AI models with domain-specific medical data and algorithms.
• Why this is important: Domain-specific applications of generalist AI models, especially in medicine, are underdeveloped due to lack of tailored data and model adaptation techniques.
• What the research proposes: OpenMEDLab offers an open-source platform for developing and accessing foundation models trained on vast, domain-specific (medical) datasets, facilitating advanced research and applications in medical AI.
• Results: Successful demonstration of the platform’s efficacy with competitive results across multiple medical benchmarks, encompassing various data modalities and clinical applications.
