HumanOS
HumanOS is an AI-powered diagnostic assistant designed to support physicians in real-time clinical settings. By listening to patient histories, vital signs, and lab results, HumanOS generates prioritized differential diagnoses using advanced reasoning algorithms. It mimics how doctors think, reducing diagnostic errors and improving decision-making—especially in remote or underserved areas. With diagnostic mistakes impacting nearly 795,000 patients annually in the U.S., HumanOS offers a transformative solution by integrating clinical decision support into everyday practice. The project benefits doctors, hospitals, telehealth providers, medical trainees, and ultimately, patients. The completed prototype demonstrates how AI can reduce costs, shorten diagnostic timelines, and improve accuracy in complex cases.
Diabetics&AI
Diabetics and AI is an ongoing project focused on predictive healthcare for patients with Type 2 diabetes. Using machine learning models trained on wearable sensor data and health records, this tool aims to forecast complications before they occur. Many patients experience avoidable health crises due to gaps in monitoring and care coordination. By flagging early signs of risk, this AI system empowers clinicians and patients alike to take proactive steps. The project is particularly valuable for community clinics and public health programs. Upon completion, it will deliver a user-friendly dashboard that visualizes patient risk levels and generates personalized care recommendations.
DigitalPsychologist
Digital Psychologist is a conversational AI chatbot developed to support mental wellness among youth. Built with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, it provides an accessible outlet for teens and students facing stress, anxiety, or low motivation. With a national shortage of therapists—especially in underserved communities—this tool offers immediate, anonymous support through emotionally intelligent dialogue. Digital Psychologist bridges the gap between isolation and professional help, offering real-time prompts, affirmations, and structured guidance rooted in evidence-based techniques. Currently in beta testing, the chatbot is already being explored by schools and wellness programs for early intervention use.
