Path to Care

Multimodal, agentic triage decision-support for rural healthcare in the Global South. A phone photo plus a typed narrative becomes a top-3 condition guess, a Red / Yellow / Green urgency, and a structured pre-visit SOAP for the clinic doctor — contextualized by village distance, cost, and harvest season. It never diagnoses.

What it does

A community health worker (or the patient) sends a phone photo of a skin lesion plus a short text history. Path to Care runs the image and narrative through a multimodal agentic pipeline and returns:

Every patient-facing string passes through a deterministic cardinal-rule rewriter that strips diagnostic phrasing ("you have X""signs suggest X") before it leaves the API. The output is decision support, not a diagnosis.

Results

Evaluated on the 30-case adversarial test set. Reward R = 1.0 exact / 0.5 adjacent / 0.0 off-by-two.

Run Mean reward Exact match FN Red → Green
Zero-shot baseline (Gemma 4 31B) 0.983 96.7% 0.0%
LoRA-tuned (180 MB adapter) 0.983 96.7% 0.0%

The single residual error is a Yellow → Green slip; no Red was missed. The headline number is the false-negative Red → Green rate at zero — the safety property that matters in the field. Full per-case results in results/tuned_metrics.json.

The cardinal rule

Path to Care never produces diagnostic statements. The output is always "signs suggest infection", never "you have cellulitis"; image output is always top-3 with confidence, never a single class label, never binary sick / healthy. Enforcement is defense-in-depth: a system prompt rule, a deterministic regex rewriter on every model output, and a unit test suite that fails the build on diagnostic phrasing.

Decision-support tool. Not a diagnostic system. Always consult a qualified physician.
