Researchers from CUHK and collaborators developed MedGame, a dual-engine framework that converts static clinical cases into interactive, multimodal storytelling games for medical education. Task-specific fine-tuning significantly improved open-source LLMs' structural compliance and narrative adaptation, achieving performance comparable to commercial models in generating these educational games.

Key insights

  • Task-specific fine-tuning substantially improves open-source LLM performance in structural validity, narrative adaptation, and medical accuracy, enabling them to compete with commercial models.
  • Medical-domain pretraining in base models provides complementary gains in medical accuracy after fine-tuning, demonstrating the combined benefit of specialized knowledge and task-specific instruction.
  • Human expert revision significantly enhances the medical accuracy and educational quality of generated content, highlighting the value of human oversight in high-stakes medical applications.
