Dual-Stream Memory Architecture for Clinical Discrepancy Detection in LLM Agents

ai-technology · 2026-05-01

A new Dual-Stream Memory Architecture separates patient narrative from structured clinical records (FHIR) to detect discrepancies in health coaching agents. The system addresses the challenge of reconciling patient self-report (current but biased) with EHR data (validated but stale). A Reconciliation Engine evaluates each extracted memory against the FHIR profile, classifying discrepancies by type, severity, and involved FHIR resources. This approach aims to prevent safety failures common in general-purpose agent memory systems that overwrite older facts with the latest user statement. The architecture is designed for LLM agents managing longitudinal healthcare journeys, moving beyond single-session tools.

Key facts

  • The architecture separates patient narrative from structured clinical record (FHIR).
  • A Reconciliation Engine evaluates memories against FHIR profile.
  • Discrepancies are classified by type, severity, and FHIR resources.
  • Patient self-report is current but prone to recall bias.
  • EHR is medically validated but frequently stale.
  • General-purpose memory systems overwrite older facts with latest user statement.
  • The system targets safety failures in clinical data management.
  • LLM agents are transitioning to persistent systems for longitudinal healthcare.
