| # 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" | |
