Challenge

Build a Google ADK & OpenAI o3 Multi-Cancer Diagnostic Utility Agent

Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) blood tests generate complex real-world data requiring clear diagnostic utility mapping and patient counseling. Build a Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) agent powered by OpenAI o3 reasoning to evaluate patient MCED test results and generate clinical action plans.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Construct an agent using Google ADK and OpenAI o3 reasoning to interpret MCED test outcomes and generate evidence-based downstream workups.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates agent ability to generate appropriate follow-up diagnostic pathways from MCED signals.

Datasets

Shared data for this challenge

Review public datasets and any private uploads tied to your build.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

correct_imaging_modality

Checks if contrast-enhanced CT or EUS is included for pancreatic tissue of origin.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

guideline_conformance_score

Conformity score against standard NCCN workup protocols for suspected malignancies. • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Orchestrate clinical workflow agents using Google Agent Development Kit (ADK)

  • Leverage OpenAI o3 complex reasoning capabilities to weigh tissue of origin (TOO) probabilities

  • Formulate standardized diagnostic workup recommendations based on NCCN guidelines

  • Generate patient-facing plain language explanations that prevent over-diagnosis confusion
