# P3 Myeloma – AI Follow-up Chatbot

An adaptive follow-up chatbot for the AI-Enhanced Personalized Patient Profile (P3)
Myeloma intake. The participant answers the 16 Shared Decision Making questions, and
the app uses Google Gemini to ask tailored follow-up questions, gently probe apparent
contradictions in their preferences, and end with a priorities summary they can bring
to their care team.

It does **not** give medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. It only
helps the patient articulate their own values and concerns.

## Setup on Hugging Face Spaces

1. Create a new Space, choose **Gradio** as the SDK.
2. Upload `app.py`, `requirements.txt`, and this `README.md`.
3. Add your Gemini key as a secret:
   - Go to **Settings → Variables and secrets → New secret**
   - Name: `GEMINI_API_KEY`
   - Value: your key from https://aistudio.google.com/apikey
4. The Space will build and launch automatically.

If you do not set the secret, users can paste a key in the collapsible
"Gemini API Key" field in the UI.

## Model

Uses `gemini-2.5-flash`. To change it, edit the `MODEL` variable in `app.py`.

## How it works

- The 16 yes/no answers are turned into a structured profile.
- A rule-based `detect_tensions()` step flags likely contradictions (for example,
  wanting an aggressive approach while prioritizing quality of life, or living alone
  with no caregiver but preferring home medications).
- Those flags are passed to Gemini, which asks one follow-up question per turn.
- After enough exchanges (capped at 8), the model returns a `<<SUMMARY>>` of the
  patient's priorities, which the app formats and displays.
