## What Pulse AI Delivers
**AI Symptom Diagnosis** — Patients describe symptoms in natural language (text or voice, in French or English). Groq extracts structured clinical signals. A CSV-based disease matching engine scores 770+ disease profiles against those signals with geographic prevalence weighting for West Africa. Mistral synthesizes a ranked differential diagnosis with severity triage and first-aid guidance — in under 10 seconds.
**Smart Hospital Finder** — Real GPS-to-hospital routing across 8 West African countries using OSRM road distance (not straight-line estimates). Filter by country, service type, or specialty. Falls back gracefully to manual country selection when GPS is unavailable.
**Lyra — Mental Health Companion** — A culturally-aware AI therapist powered by Mistral + RAG (Supabase pgvector). Lyra retrieves relevant mental health context from a curated West African corpus on every message, responds with streaming tokens, and maintains full conversation history. She speaks both French and E …
