Democratizing cost-effective, agentic artificial intelligence to multilingual medical summarization through knowledge distillation
This study introduces AraSum, a domain-specific AI agent built using a novel knowledge distillation framework that transforms large multilingual LLMs into lightweight, task-optimized small language models (SLMs). Leveraging a synthetic dataset of Arabic medical dialogues, AraSum demonstrates superior performance over JAIS-30B, a foundational Arabic LLM, across key evaluation metrics, including BLEU and ROUGE scores. AraSum also outperforms JAIS in Arabic-speaking evaluator assessments of accuracy, comprehensiveness, and clinical utility while maintaining comparable linguistic performance as measured by a modified PDQI-9 inventory. Beyond accuracy, AraSum achieves these results with significantly lower computational and environmental costs, demonstrating the feasibility of deploying resource-efficient AI models in low-resource settings for domain-specific tasks. This work underscores the potential of SLM-based agentic architectures for advancing multilingual healthcare, encouraging sustainable artificial intelligence, and fostering equity in access to care.

Estimated Development Cost for GPT-4
In contrast, foundational models like GPT-4 or JAIS-30B incur millions of dollars in development costs and significantly higher carbon footprints, making them economically infeasible for many domain-specific implementations. AraSum demonstrates that high performance can be achieved sustainably.
Enhanced Clinical Utility
Arabic-fluent clinical evaluators rated AraSum significantly higher in accuracy, thoroughness, usefulness, and comprehensibility, demonstrating its superior practical utility in clinical settings compared to JAIS-30B.
Case Study: Clinician Feedback on AraSum
A recent evaluation involving healthcare professionals revealed AraSum's strong practical advantages. One radiologist commented, "AraSum's summaries are remarkably precise and complete. It captures nuances that previous models missed, which is crucial for accurate diagnoses." Another medical student noted, "The output is easy to understand and integrates seamlessly into our workflow, significantly reducing review time." The model's ability to provide bias-free information was also highlighted as a key benefit for sensitive clinical contexts.
These insights underscore AraSum's capacity to deliver not just technically superior summaries, but also highly usable and trustworthy information that genuinely supports clinical decision-making and patient care.
