However, the doctors have more or better information than the patients (that is also the reason why the patients go to see the doctors in the first place). This information asymmetry puts the patients at a disadvantage, leads to wasteful medical treatment, and more importantly, it can erode patient’s trust in doctors.
To combat this information asymmetry in healthcare, we not only need to broaden access to good medical information, but also deliver the information in such a simple form that the general public can understand. This has motivated four fellow Neo4j engineers and me to develop the medical chatbot called Doctor.ai. This chatbot manages a large amount of patients’ medical records as well as public medical information in its Neo4j knowledge graph. With the help of Alan AI and GPT-3, Doctor.ai is able to understand oral English, German, Chinese and Japanese, generate the correct Cypher to query its Neo4j backend and present the answers to the users. It can answer a wide range of questions such as the details of past visits as well as the disease-associated pathogens, drugs, symptoms and genes.
