IPRD funded research by Cesar Rodriguez
Rare disease AI knowledge hub: Limited awareness of pediatric rare diseases among healthcare professionals impedes access to care, contributing to delayed diagnoses and suboptimal outcomes. This research project addresses this problem by creating an AI knowledge base for rare diseases that can interact with the users in a conversational manner. A software system that uses a state-of-the-art large language model (OpenAI's Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, GPT) using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) will be developed. Initially, the interface will be trained to provide dynamic and relevant information about Tay-Sachs disease, trimethylaminuria, and fragile X syndrome.
Dr. Cesar Rodriguez, M.D., Research Faculty of Biomedical Sciences at FSU College of Medicine, unveils the latest developments on the Pediatric Rare Disease AI Knowledge Hub. Powered by IPRD funding and collaboration with Professor Xiuwen Liu, along with students from FSU Department of Computer Science & FSU CoM, this project is breaking boundaries in rare disease research. Catch a sneak peak of the Knowledge Hub answering essential questions about a rare disease known as fish odor syndrome such as “What is the latest research on a cure?” and “Where can I find support groups?”
