Medical Assistant with Spiritual Support

A comprehensive medical chat application with automatic background monitoring for spiritual distress and advanced prompt optimization system.

This system provides seamless medical assistance while intelligently detecting and addressing spiritual care needs through a sophisticated AI-powered classification and triage system.

⚡ Quick Start

🎯 Two Interface Options

The project now offers two interfaces to suit different needs:

1. Simplified Interface (Recommended for Testing Team)

• ✅ Provider Summary as final exchange in verification
• ✅ Auto-save reports with single button
• ✅ Streamlined UI focused on testing

python run_simplified_interface.py
# http://localhost:7861

📖 Quick Guide: See QUICK_START_SIMPLIFIED.md or QUICK_START_SIMPLIFIED_EN.md

2. Full Interface (For Development & Configuration)

Complete feature set with all advanced options:

python app.py
# http://localhost:7860

Local Setup

🏥 Medical Assistant + 🕊️ Spiritual Support + 🔧 Prompt Optimization

# 1. Configure API Keys (first time)
cat > .env << EOF
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here
EOF

# 2. Install Dependencies
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 3. Run Application
# Simplified Interface (for testing):
python run_simplified_interface.py

# OR Full Interface (for development):

🎯 System Architecture

Intelligent Spiritual Monitoring

The system operates as a Medical Assistant while continuously monitoring for spiritual distress:

Patient: "I'm feeling stressed about my treatment"
    ↓
[Spiritual Monitor] → YELLOW (Potential distress detected)
    ↓
[Soft Spiritual Triage] → Asks 2-3 gentle clarifying questions
    ↓
[Triage Response Evaluator] → Evaluates responses
    ↓
Result: GREEN (Coping well) or RED (Needs referral)

Three-Tier Classification System (Enhanced v2.2)

🟢 GREEN (No Spiritual Distress)

• Medical symptoms only
• Routine health questions
• Standard wellness topics
• Clear positive statements like "I am fine" (now correctly classified)
• No emotional or spiritual concerns

🟡 YELLOW (Potential Spiritual Distress - Needs Clarification)

• Simple sadness without spiritual context (improved classification)
• Stress, anxiety, sleep issues
• Grief and loss (without expressed distress)
• Existential questions
• Spiritual disconnection
• Feelings of isolation
• Loss of interest in activities
• Ambiguous situations requiring further investigation

🔴 RED (Active Spiritual Distress - Immediate Attention) Updated Definition: Patient's situation appears to be caused by or actively causing emotional or spiritual distress (broader than crisis-only)

Explicit RED Indicators (Always RED):

• Complex grief
• Loss of a loved one (when patient expresses emotional distress)
• Doubt about meaning of life (e.g., "Life has no meaning anymore")
• Doubt about meaning of suffering
• Doubt about personal dignity
• Loss of meaning and purpose
• Suicidal ideation
• Severe hopelessness
• Spiritual crisis
• Anger at God/higher power
• Moral injury

🚀 Advanced Prompt Optimization System

Centralized Prompt Management

• PromptController: Orchestrates all prompt operations with shared components
• Shared Catalogs: Centralized storage for indicators, rules, templates, and categories
• Session Isolation: Test prompt changes without affecting production
• Three-tier Priority: Session Overrides → Centralized Files → Default Fallbacks

Session-Level Prompt Overrides

• Real-time Testing: Edit prompts and test immediately
• Session Isolation: Changes apply only to your current session
• Promote to File: Tested changes can be promoted to permanent files
• Automatic Backups: Original files backed up before promotion

Enhanced Edit Prompts Interface

• Visual Indicators: Clear display of prompt sources (session vs centralized)
• Real-time Validation: Immediate feedback on prompt structure and syntax
• CSS-Optimized Display: No UI overflow issues with validation messages
• Promote Workflow: Easy promotion of tested changes to permanent files

Previous Updates (v2.2) - January 2026

Critical Classification Improvements

Based on medical professional feedback from review/Or_2.txt:

✅ Fixed Critical JSON Parsing Bug:

• Issue: LLM returned "classification" field but parser expected "state" field
• Solution: Updated parser to handle both field formats
• Impact: Eliminated classification errors due to parsing failures

✅ Enhanced RED Flag Definition:

• Previous: Limited to "severe distress or crisis"
• Current: Broader definition includes "active spiritual distress"
• Benefit: More accurate detection of patients needing spiritual care

✅ Added Explicit RED Indicators:

• Complex grief → Always RED
• Loss of loved one (with distress) → Always RED
• Doubt about meaning of life → Always RED
• Doubt about meaning of suffering → Always RED
• Doubt about personal dignity → Always RED

✅ Improved Specific Case Handling:

• "I am fine" now correctly classified as 🟢 GREEN (was incorrectly YELLOW)
• "I feel sad" now correctly classified as 🟡 YELLOW (simple sadness without context)
• "Life has no meaning" now correctly classified as 🔴 RED (explicit meaning loss)

Medical Brain Integration Optimization

✅ Streamlined Provider Summary Format:

• Removed redundant "Message for Spiritual Care Team" functionality
• Medical Brain Compatible Summary is now the primary and only format
• Single coherent paragraph format for seamless Medical Brain integration
• Optimized prompt structure for Medical Brain compatibility

Documentation and Review

✅ Comprehensive Review Documentation:

• Added detailed review/README.md (Ukrainian) with medical professional feedback
• Analyzed verified conversation examples with outcomes
• Documented all implemented improvements and validation results

Validation Results

✅ "I am fine" → 🟢 GREEN (confidence: 1.0)
✅ "I feel sad" → 🟡 YELLOW (confidence: 0.9)  
✅ "Life has no meaning anymore" → 🔴 RED (confidence: 1.0)

All test cases now pass according to medical professional recommendations.
