Multi-agent decision support
Multidisciplinary Board Platform
Every specialty’s view, prepared before the room convenes.
The Multidisciplinary Board Platform is designed to prepare case review for multidisciplinary teams. Specialist-perspective agents organise the evidence each discipline needs, show where views agree or diverge, and list what is still unknown. Board time goes to the decision, which stays with the clinicians.
Demonstration
Demo with synthetic data
A synthetic colorectal case is read by one AI agent per department, from gastroenterology to genetics. Agreement, divergence, and missing items are made explicit, and a second view shows the meetings and their analytics.
All names, values, and records in this demonstration are invented. It illustrates the workflow and is not a screenshot of a deployed system.

Synthetic patient, colorectal tumour board
- Presentation
- Rectal bleeding and change in bowel habit for 3 months
- Performance status
- ECOG 1
- Comorbidities
- Type 2 diabetes (metformin), hypertension
- Tumour
- Mid rectum, about 8 cm from the anal verge
Documents
- D1Colonoscopy 21/08
- D2Biopsy 28/08
- D3MRI pelvis 03/09
- D4CT chest and abdomen 21/07
- D5Laboratory 02/09
Department agents
Each agent reads the case documents and prepares its department’s considerations.
Gastroenterology agent
ReadyTool calls (2)
- Read colonoscopy report D1
- Read laboratory results D5
- Circumferential mid-rectal lesion, biopsied.
- Proximal colon not fully assessed because of poor preparation. Completion colonoscopy or CT colonography should be considered before surgery.
D1
Pathology agent
ReadyTool calls (1)
- Read biopsy report D2
- Adenocarcinoma, moderately differentiated.
- Mismatch-repair (MMR/MSI) status is not reported. Immunohistochemistry should be requested, as it may change the options discussed.
D2
Radiology agent
ReadyTool calls (2)
- Read MRI pelvis D3
- Read CT chest and abdomen D4
- MRI: features consistent with cT3 N1, mesorectal fascia clear.
- No distant disease on CT, but the scan is from 21/07, older than 6 weeks. Updated staging may be needed.
D3D4
Colorectal surgery agent
ReadyTool calls (2)
- Read MRI pelvis D3
- Read colonoscopy report D1
- Resectable on imaging. Sphincter preservation appears feasible at about 8 cm.
- Raises neoadjuvant treatment before total mesorectal excision for discussion.
D3D1
General surgery agent
ReadyTool calls (2)
- Read referral and history
- Read laboratory results D5
- ECOG 1. Diabetes and hypertension recorded as controlled.
- Pre-operative anaesthetic assessment and stoma counselling to be arranged if surgery is planned.
D5
Genetics agent
ReadyTool calls (2)
- Read biopsy report D2
- Read referral and history
- No family history of cancer is recorded in the referral. A three-generation family history should be taken.
- If the tumour is MMR deficient, germline testing for Lynch syndrome and genetic counselling could be offered.
D2
Medical oncology agent
ReadyTool calls (3)
- Read biopsy report D2
- Read MRI pelvis D3
- Read laboratory results D5
- Candidate for neoadjuvant therapy. Sequencing is open for discussion.
- MMR/MSI result and CEA (pending) could change the options discussed.
D2D3D5
Board preparation
Prepared by AI agents for discussion. Not a recommendation.
Agreement
Locally advanced mid-rectal cancer on MRI. Colorectal surgery and medical oncology both raise neoadjuvant treatment before surgery.
Divergence
Colorectal surgery and medical oncology raise treatment sequencing differently. This is left open for the board to discuss.
Missing before decision
- MMR / MSI status
- CEA result
- Updated staging CT
- Completion colonoscopy
- Family history

Design intent
Design intent
- 01
Case summary with sources
A concise, source-referenced summary of history, imaging, pathology, and prior treatment.
- 02
Perspectives by discipline
Separate agents prepare the considerations radiology, pathology, surgery, and oncology would each raise.
- 03
Agreement and divergence
Points of consensus and disagreement are laid side by side, not averaged into one answer.
- 04
Missing information
Gaps such as a pending biomarker or an outdated scan are listed before the meeting, not discovered during it.
- 05
Decision record
The board’s decision and rationale are recorded by clinicians, and the preparation is kept for audit.
How it works
- 1
Assemble
Case documents are gathered and summarised with references.
- 2
Prepare perspectives
Each discipline’s considerations are drafted separately.
- 3
Compare
Agreement, divergence, and gaps are laid out for the coordinator.
- 4
Decide
The board discusses and records its decision. The system does not vote.
Built for
- Tumour boards and other MDT meetings
- MDT coordinators
- Hospital quality and governance leads
Safeguards
- Agent outputs are labelled as preparation material, never as recommendations of the board.
- Each statement references the document it relies on.
- Disagreement is preserved and shown, not resolved automatically.
Boundaries
- This is a working title for a product in design. Capability and availability are to be confirmed.
- It does not make treatment decisions, and its outputs are not clinical advice.

AI for tumour board preparation
Multidisciplinary team meetings change how patients are assessed and treated, and they take a lot of specialist time. Where multi-agent AI can help with preparation, and where it must stay out.
Showing uncertainty in clinical AI
A prediction without a sense of how sure it is invites both over-trust and dismissal. Why calibration, case-level uncertainty, and the option to abstain belong in clinical AI.
Making clinician review work
“A clinician reviews every output” is only a safeguard if the review is designed to work. What research on automation bias says about building it well.
