dwwd # 🧠 Clinical Reasoning AI – Kenya Challenge 2024 This project was developed as part of the **Kenya Clinical Reasoning AI Challenge 2024**, a collaborative initiative aimed at improving healthcare decision-making through artificial intelligence. It focuses on building and evaluating AI models that assist medical professionals with **clinical diagnosis, triage, and patient reasoning** — particularly in **low-resource settings**. --- ## 🌍 Context In many African countries, especially in rural regions, access to experienced clinicians is limited. This challenge aimed to explore how **Large Language Models (LLMs)** and **clinical AI systems** could support junior healthcare workers or community health workers by providing intelligent reasoning support. --- ## 🎯 Project Goals - Build an **LLM-powered assistant** to interpret patient symptoms and medical notes - Use **clinical case data** from Kenyan health institutions - Evaluate diagnostic reasoning with **F1-score, confidence calibration, and safety thresholds** - Provide **explainable outputs** for physician trust and oversight --- ## 💡 Key Features - 🧠 Fine-tuned LLM for clinical reasoning tasks - 📋 Ingests case data and outputs probable diagnoses - 💬 Generates natural-language reasoning chains ("why" behind diagnosis) - 📉 Scores confidence and suggests referral when uncertain - 🛡️ Includes safety thresholds to prevent overconfidence --- ## 🧪 Example Input ```plaintext Patient: 8-year-old female, fever for 3 days, vomiting, headache, no neck stiffness, no rash.
