# AI Medical Research Assistant Prototype

⚠️ **This is a research prototype only - NOT FOR MEDICAL USE** ⚠️

## Project Description
A proof-of-concept AI system demonstrating:
- Medical image analysis (X-rays, CT scans)
- Prescription text parsing
- Research-backed medical Q&A using DeepSeek
- Safety guardrails for medical content

## Features
- 📷 Basic medical image analysis
- 💊 Prescription medication extraction
- 🔍 Research-supported responses
- ⚠️ Automatic safety filtering

## Setup Instructions

1. **Hugging Face Secrets**:
   - Add your DeepSeek API key as a secret:
     - Name: `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`
     - Value: [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]

2. **Required Models**:
   - Will auto-download on first run:
     - `obi/deid_bert_i2b2` (Prescription parser)
     - `Hate-speech-CNERG/dehatebert-mono-english` (Safety filter)
     - TorchXRayVision models

3. **Hardware Requirements**:
   - GPU Space recommended
   - Minimum 8GB RAM

## Usage
1. Input options:
   - Medical question (text)
   - Medical images (X-ray/CT scans)
   - Prescription text

2. Output:
   - Research-supported response with safety disclaimers
