MedCache: Efficient and Temporally Valid Memory for Longitudinal Clinical Agents
MedCache argues that clinical-agent memory should expire and route evidence by time and specialty, not just store longer histories.
The paper introduces a benchmark for multi-visit, multi-specialty patient records. Its tests cover long-context retrieval, evidence aggregation across time, and clinical reasoning across specialties. The authors report that temporally valid memory matters more than keeping more patient history, and that specialist agents help when the reasoning itself needs coordination. MedCache combines temporal patient memory, overlapping specialty views, query routing, and adaptive single- or multi-specialist reasoning. ArXiv · AI/CL/LG's note
