Infermedica AI

How it works

At Infermedica, we design and develop our AI to carefully assist and elevate the healthcare experience for everyone. With Infermedica's AI, the future of healthcare becomes attainable, making quality medical assistance accessible, accurate and convenient for everyone. Our AI system revolves around three fundamental elements.

World-class medical inference engine

At the core of our AI lies a medical inference engine capable of analyzing patients' symptoms and performing medical reasoning tasks. The engine is specifically tailored to perform medical assessment mirroring the approach of a skilled professional.

Medical Knowledge Base in the center

Our engine leverages evidence-based medical knowledge, carefully curated and structured into a comprehensive proprietary Medical Knowledge Base. As a result, our approach to AI guarantees maximum accuracy in determining the potential underlying cause of any given set of symptoms, and suggesting the most appropriate level of care.

Natural language processing

Our intuitive NLP technology empowers users and patients to express their symptoms and complaints effortlessly in everyday language, bridging the communication gap and ensuring a more seamless and human-like healthcare interaction.

Frequently asked questions

1. What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of computer systems to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence to complete, such as perception, reasoning, and problem-solving. AI involves developing algorithms and systems that can mimic human intelligence to some extent. In the case of Infermedica, our AI’s main goal is to analyze patients’ complaints, to collect relevant health information through dynamic interviews guided by the principles of differential diagnosis to understand patients’ state of health and give appropriate healthcare recommendations.

2. What is Infermedica's take on large language models like ChatGPT?
   The recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) are impressive, and they show great promise. However, it’s vital that technology companies and their customers also understand their limitations, pick the right tools for the right problems and hold each other to the highest standards of validation before they can be applied safely and successfully in medical devices.

3. How is Infermedica’s AI different than ChatGPT?
   LLMs are advancing rapidly and show great promise in tasks related to natural and expressive communication, but it's important to understand the following limitations in order to achieve safe and effective results, particularly in healthcare:

   • Lack of clinical validation
   • Lack of explainability
   • Unpredictable and uncontrollable behavior

4. What is the difference between ChatGPT and other types of AI, including Infermedica’s AI?
   ChatGPT is a large language model created and released by OpenAI and which is devised to interact conversationally with humans.
