LongMedBench: Benchmarking Medical Agents for Long-Horizon Clinical Decision-Making
Prior evaluations of LLM-based medical agents have largely emphasized short-context knowledge QA and tool use. However, real-world medical care is inherently longitudinal, and clinicians must aggregate evidence across repeated visits, tests, and evolving treatments. Therefore, long-horizon interaction is essential for realistic assessment.
