AI chatbot to diagnose rare diseases

To speed up diagnosis of rare diseases and expedite access to treatment, a team of Oregon State University students and faculty, and a rare disease expert at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, have created a chatbot for medical professionals. Instead of spending hours poring over journal articles, doctors can ask the chatbot to provide a succinct answer backed up by verified sources.
