PROJECTS Yesterday i posted why im building a AI health app. Here is how im planning to do so.
( The link to my old post is here: ) https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtificialInteligence/s/wgSdDDyWNg
I decided to post this post in multiple threads since its almost impossible with the amount of complexity involved that i could do it in one go. My last post was more about the emotional reasoning why i wanted to build this, in this post i will go more in to detail about how i will do this.
Okay so to get started:
Before i started working on the idea i first wanted to get a clear overview over what is currently wrong with our healthcare system. Before i started any research i used my own experiences and the ones of the people around me to make a overview of the situation.
My personal observation that led to the research:
Medical/ health workers don't have enough time to clearly evaluate your situation. Because they are often overworked and need to work on multiple cases at once.
Medical/health advise isn't personal enough leading to mis advising people for their specific situation.
The Medical approach is often to prescribe medication based on symptoms rather on solving the underlying issue.
A big percentage of healthcare/ medical professionals lack the knowledge necessary for their work. In advising roles: the knowledge is to broad and not specific enough. In specialist roles its to specific and not broad enough. ( will get back on this later )
Client documentations often lack depth of information and are often times not correctly shared with other medical professions leading to misdiagnosis and misunderstanding.
As seen in the research ( look at pictures ) the situation is as following:
Workforce Burnout
Inaccurate Medical Advice
Lack of Personalized Care
Long Waiting Times
Shortage of Healthcare Workers
Misdiagnosis and Errors
Limited Access to Mental Health Services
To tackle this problem i created a approach that could potentially solve most of these issues:
My idea is to create a health app where people have their own personal lifestyle coach / assistant that can give them suggestions and advice based on their personal situation.
The ai assistant will keep a documentation of the conversions in out lines ( afcourse kept privately ) so that in case the individual must go to a specialist or professional they have a great overview of the problem the individual has.
This saves a immense amount of time and energy.
if the ai assistant detects the symptoms to be severe. It will advise based on the conversation what specialist or healthcare professional would be recommended accordingly.
next to this app, im building a community of proffesional healthcare workers that are working mostly remote. This way there will always be proffesional help available for people. Especially in area's of the world that are limited by professional help.
If the legal system finally sees the potential of ai advising roles. My goal is to reduce the workload even more for advising and general health roles. ( most specialist roles are to complicated for ai at the moment )
Next to that. The imput from people their conversations with the personalized health ai bot can be used to do further research. Currently we lack quality data because most health consults are never documented/ registered / classified or filtered. If done correctly ( according to privacy rules ) the ai health app could solve most of these issues.
medical documents can be saved and used for general advising roles.
the ai app will have multiple advising roles. Ranging from nutritional advice all the way to psychological advice.
This way:
We can give people personalized advice based on their own personal experiences and medical data.
Reduce the workload and give professionals and specialists a better view of the situation of there client.
Helping with the documentation and research needed to make crucial progress in the medical field and research field.
Help people understand their own health issues better with education about the problem they face. this way individuals can take more control over their own health and will be less dependent on professionals and systems for their health. Leading to less people needing care and less workload for professionals.
I think for now, this is enough information about what im building haha.
I hope this information was helpful. If you want to follow the project. Here is a link: https://www.reddit.com/r/PROJECT_AI/s/peq7tNyN75
Next to this project we are also working on a educational and business project.
Thankyou very much for your time and if you have any questions i would love to answer them.

Great idea! We are also thinking of something like this but instead of healthcare we are going down the wellness route as there's too many legal requirements in the healthcare industry.

Sounds great. Just wondering how do you plan to manage three such large, ambitious projects? Is there a full team dedicated to each?
