   ## Known Limitations

   Currently, both patient and doctor modes are on a shared user interface. This serves as a prototype to easily see how patients and healthcare professionals can leverage this tool to understand a patient's lived experience with their medication.

   Additionally, the long-term memory of this tool is minimal. After several prompts, the chatbot will begin to respond with blanks because the context is overflowing.
   
   ## Future Improvements

   With more time, I would build out this interface to work as two independent applications.
   One for patients, and one for Healthcare professionals.

   Use a more dynamic way of keeping the context of a patient's prompts, over multiple days, and without causing issues for the model. Local caching of patient's prompts in summarization form may allow a more concise version to be passed in as context. This would mean the doctor would get a more accurate idea of the patient's questions over a longer period of time.
