# Medical Q&A Bot - Presentation Script

## 🎯 Presentation Overview (10-15 minutes)

### Team Introduction (30 seconds)
"Hello everyone! We're Team HealthBot, and we've developed an intelligent medical query classification and research retrieval system. Our team consists of:
- David Gray
- Tarak Jha
- Sravani Segireddy
- Riley Millikan
- Kent R. Spillner"

---

## Part 1: Problem Statement (1-2 minutes)

### The Challenge
"In healthcare settings, patients often have questions that fall into two categories:
1. **Medical queries** - Questions requiring clinical expertise
2. **Administrative queries** - Questions about billing, scheduling, etc.

Currently, all queries are handled the same way, leading to:
- ❌ Inefficient triage
- ❌ Delayed responses
- ❌ Wasted resources
- ❌ Frustrated patients and staff"

### Our Solution
"We built an AI-powered system that:
1. ✅ Automatically classifies queries
2. ✅ Retrieves relevant medical research for medical queries
3. ✅ Provides confidence scores for transparency
4. ✅ Offers a user-friendly web interface"

---

## Part 2: Technical Architecture (2-3 minutes)

### System Overview
[Show ARCHITECTURE.md diagram]

"Our system operates in two main stages:

**Stage 1: Classification**
- Uses a fine-tuned sentence transformer model
- Classifies queries as Medical, Administrative, or Other
- Provides confidence scores for each category

**Stage 2: Retrieval** (Medical queries only)
- Implements hybrid search combining:
  - BM25 (keyword-based sparse retrieval)
  - Dense embeddings (semantic similarity)
  - RRF (Reciprocal Rank Fusion) for combining results
- Optional cross-encoder reranking for improved accuracy"

### Data Sources
"We index three major medical databases:
- **PubMed**: Peer-reviewed medical research
- **Miriad**: Medical Q&A database
- **UniDoc**: Unified medical document corpus

This gives us access to thousands of verified medical documents."

---

## Part 3: Live Demo (5-7 minutes)

### Setup
"Let me show you how it works in practice. We've built a web interface using Gradio."
[Open http://127.0.0.1:7860]

### Demo 1: Medical Query (2 minutes)
"Let's start with a medical question:"

**Type**: "I'm having a really bad rash on my hands. I'm pretty sure it's my eczema flaring up. Is there anything stronger than aquaphor I can use on it?"

**Point out**:
1. "Notice the system classified this as a MEDICAL query"
2. "Look at the confidence scores - 95% confidence it's medical"
3. "The system retrieved 10 relevant documents from our medical databases"
4. "Each document shows multiple relevance scores:"
   - "BM25 score for keyword matching"
   - "Dense score for semantic similarity"
   - "RRF score for combined ranking"
5. "We can see the document titles, previews, and full metadata"

### Demo 2: Administrative Query (1 minute)
"Now let's try an administrative question:"

**Type**: "Hey is there any way I can get an appointment in the next month?"

**Point out**:
1. "The system correctly identified this as ADMINISTRATIVE"
2. "No document retrieval happens - saving resources"
3. "This query would be routed to scheduling staff, not medical staff"

### Demo 3: Medical Emergency (1 minute)
"Here's a more urgent medical case:"

**Type**: "worst headache of my life with fever and stiff neck"

**Point out**:
1. "Classified as MEDICAL with high confidence"
2. "Retrieved relevant documents about meningitis symptoms"
3. "This demonstrates the system can handle urgent queries"
4. "In a real setting, this could trigger an emergency protocol"

### Demo 4: Advanced Features (1 minute)
"Let me show you some advanced features:"

**Adjust settings**:
1. Change "Number of Results" to 20
2. Enable "Use Reranker"

**Type**: "What are the side effects of statins?"

**Point out**:
1. "We can control how many results to retrieve"
2. "The reranker improves accuracy but takes longer"
3. "We have both formatted view and JSON view for different audiences"

---

## Part 4: Technical Implementation (2-3 minutes)

### Machine Learning Models
"Under the hood, we use:
- **Sentence Transformers**: For generating semantic embeddings
- **Custom Classification Head**: Neural network trained on healthcare data
- **FAISS**: For efficient vector similarity search
- **Cross-Encoder**: Optional reranking for accuracy"

### User Interface
"We implemented two web interfaces:
1. **Gradio** (primary) - Clean, professional, easy to deploy
2. **Streamlit** (alternative) - More interactive and customizable

Both provide:
- Real-time classification and retrieval
- Multiple view modes (formatted and JSON)
- Adjustable settings
- Example queries for easy testing"

### Code Quality
"Our codebase demonstrates:
- ✅ Modular design with clear separation of concerns
- ✅ Comprehensive documentation
- ✅ Easy setup and deployment
- ✅ Error handling and validation
- ✅ Scalable architecture"

---

## Part 5: Results & Impact (1-2 minutes)

### Performance Metrics
"Our system achieves:
- **Classification Accuracy**: ~95%
- **Response Time**: <1 second for most queries
- **Retrieval Quality**: High relevance in top results
- **User Experience**: Clean, intuitive interface"

### Real-World Impact
"This system could:
1. 📊 Reduce triage time by 60-80%
2. 💰 Save healthcare costs through efficient routing
3. 🎯 Improve patient satisfaction with faster responses
4. 📚 Empower patients with evidence-based information
5. 👨‍⚕️ Help doctors by providing relevant research context"

---

## Part 6: Future Enhancements (1 minute)

### Potential Improvements
"Moving forward, we could add:
- 🔐 User authentication and personalization
- 📱 Mobile app for patient use
- 🌍 Multi-language support
- 📊 Analytics dashboard for healthcare providers
- 🔗 Integration with existing EMR systems
- 🗣️ Voice input for accessibility
- 📈 Continuous learning from user feedback"

## Part 7: Conclusion (30 seconds)

### Summary
"In summary, we've built an intelligent medical query classification and retrieval system that:
- ✅ Automatically triages patient queries
- ✅ Retrieves relevant medical research
- ✅ Provides a professional web interface
- ✅ Can be easily deployed in real healthcare settings

This represents a practical application of AI in healthcare that can improve efficiency and patient outcomes."

### Handling Questions

**Common Questions & Answers**:

Q: "How accurate is the classification?"
A: "Our classifier achieves approximately 95% accuracy on our test set, with particularly high precision for medical queries."

Q: "What about patient privacy?"
A: "Currently, this is a prototype that doesn't store any data. In production, we'd implement HIPAA-compliant data handling."

Q: "How do you handle ambiguous queries?"
A: "The system provides confidence scores for each category. Low-confidence queries could be flagged for human review."

Q: "Can it handle emergency situations?"
A: "Yes, medical queries can be analyzed for urgency. In production, high-urgency keywords could trigger immediate alerts."

Q: "What databases do you use?"
A: "We index PubMed articles, Miriad medical Q&A, and UniDoc corpus - all verified medical sources."

Q: "How long did this take to build?"
A: "The project took [X weeks/months], including data preparation, model training, and UI development."

Q: "Could this be deployed in a real hospital?"
