Checkup2Action: A Multimodal Clinical Check-up Report Dataset for Patient-Oriented Action Card Generation
Provides a new benchmark for evaluating patient-oriented reasoning from multimodal clinical reports, addressing the gap in safe action generation for laypersons.
The paper introduces Checkup2Action, a multimodal dataset of 2,000 clinical check-up reports for generating structured Action Cards that prioritize patient-oriented follow-up actions. Experiments show trade-offs between coverage, correctness, conciseness, and safety in current LLMs.
Clinical check-up reports are multimodal documents that combine page layouts, tables, numerical biomarkers, abnormality flags, imaging findings, and domain-specific terminology. Such heterogeneous evidence is difficult for laypersons to interpret and translate into concrete follow-up actions. Although large language models show promise in medical summarisation and triage support, their ability to generate safe, prioritised, and patient-oriented actions from multimodal check-up reports remains under-benchmarked. We present \textbf{Checkup2Action}, a multimodal clinical check-up report dataset and benchmark for structured \textit{Action Card} generation. Each card describes one clinically relevant issue and specifies its priority, recommended department, follow-up time window, patient-facing explanation, and questions for clinicians, while avoiding diagnostic or treatment-prescriptive claims. The dataset contains 2,000 de-identified real-world check-up reports covering demographic information, physical examinations, laboratory tests, cardiovascular assessments, imaging-related evidence, and physician summaries. We formulate checkup-to-action generation as a constrained structured generation task and introduce an evaluation protocol covering issue coverage and precision, priority consistency, department and time recommendation accuracy, action complexity, usefulness, readability, and safety compliance. Experiments with general-purpose and medical large language models reveal clear trade-offs between issue coverage, action correctness, conciseness, and safety alignment. Checkup2Action provides a new multimodal benchmark for evaluating patient-oriented reasoning over clinical check-up reports.
