Summary

Edge models compressed medical inputs before a cloud model synthesized a multimodal summary.

On 20 simulated cases and three network profiles, the hybrid system reported 98–99 percent tool recall, 92–96 percent precision and four- to fifteenfold lower token cost. The small simulated study is not clinical validation.

Why it matters
