Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is IntelliDoctor?

IntelliDoctor.ai addresses the critical issue of information overload in healthcare. By providing real-time, evidence-based clinical support, it ensures that healthcare professionals have quick and reliable access to the latest medical information. This reduces the time spent on research, minimizes the risk of medical errors, and supports consistent, high-quality patient care. The system has integrated artificial intelligence to deliver these benefits swiftly and efficiently.

Which language model does IntelliDoctor use and why?

Our approach is agnostic regarding language models, meaning we are always ready to adopt the most advanced available technology or a combination of them to ensure the best service quality. Today we use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Mistral.

What other technologies does IntelliDoctor use?

In addition to the language models mentioned earlier, IntelliDoctor utilizes techniques such as "Retrieval Augmented Generation" (RAG) and "Knowledge Graphs" (KG) to enhance the quality of the responses provided. These technologies allow the app to access and use information from a wide variety of public and private medical data sources and other knowledge bases.

How does the free trial period work?

The free trial period for IntelliDoctor is 3 days. This trial period offers users a good opportunity to experience IntelliDoctor in their clinical practice. After this trial period, you will be invited to subscribe to a plan to continue using the app.

Is IntelliDoctor’s subscription expensive?

IntelliDoctor stands out substantially from conventional clinical decision support tools and AI products like ChatGPT due to its advanced use of generative AI agent engineering. This engineering involves iterative steps of search, analysis, and synthesis of reliable data in real-time, significantly enhancing the accuracy and relevance of the information provided, as well as transparency and safety—critical elements in the medical context. Each query to IntelliDoctor consumes a significant number of tokens, as it uses retrieval technologies to meticulously search curated medical databases and synthesize academic articles. This detailed and iterative process ensures that the information is always current and scientifically valid, justifying the higher costs of IntelliDoctor compared to conventional AI applications. This extensive use is necessary to achieve the required level of detail and precision in the medical field, providing high-quality clinical support that is worth the investment.
