MedStreamBench: A Time-Aware Benchmark for Streaming and Proactive Medical Video Understanding

Existing medical video benchmarks primarily evaluate whether a model produces the correct answer, but rarely assess whether it answers at the right time. In real clinical settings, AI systems must decide not only what to predict, but also when to answer, defer judgment, or proactively raise alerts. This creates a critical gap between benchmark evaluation and deployment requirements. We present MedStreamBench, a benchmark for time-aware medical video understanding. MedStreamBench integrates 22 medical datasets and 5,419 QA instances across four temporal settings: retrospective, present, future, and proactive. Unlike conventional benchmarks that assume full-video access, MedStreamBench restricts models to temporally bounded evidence windows and supports both single-turn and streaming evaluation. We further introduce a proactive monitoring setting that requires models to determine whether and when clinically relevant alerts should be triggered. Beyond answer correctness, MedStreamBench evaluates temporal behavior through responsiveness and post-evidence stability. Experiments on leading general-purpose and medical vision-language models reveal a substantial gap between offline recognition and temporally grounded decision-making, with performance dropping markedly in streaming and proactive settings.
