- API: Hugging Face Spaces (set up at huggingface.co/spaces)
- API Docs: /docs
What It Does
An intelligent healthcare assistant that:
- π¬ Answers medical questions with evidence-based responses
- π Analyzes lab reports (PDF/images) with AI-powered explanations
- π§ Multi-step reasoning for complex medical queries
- ποΈ Multimodal support using GPT-4o vision
- β οΈ Emergency detection for 14 critical symptoms
- π Enterprise security with authentication and audit logs
β¨ Key Features
Core RAG Pipeline
- Multi-agent routing - Classify queries into 7 types (symptom check, drug info, emergency, etc.)
- Hybrid retrieval - FAISS vector search + BM25 keyword matching
- Streaming responses - Real-time answer generation
- Confidence scoring - Multi-factor quality assessment
- Source citations - Grounded answers with references
Medical Features
- Report analysis - Upload PDF/images, extract lab values, flag abnormal results
- Serious condition follow-up - Daily monitoring workflow for high-risk patients
- Emergency detection - Alert for 14 critical symptoms
- Drug interaction warnings - Common dangerous combinations
- Health recommendations - AI-powered dietary and lifestyle advice
- Session memory - Remember conversation context
Production Features
- Authentication - JWT tokens with role-based access (Patient, Clinician, Admin)
- Database persistence - SQLite with 7 tables (PostgreSQL-ready)
- Audit logging - Track all user actions
- API key management - For external integrations
- Real-time monitoring - Query metrics, latency, confidence distribution
π Quick Start
1. Clone Repository
git clone https://github.com/Santhakumarramesh/healthcare-rag-agent.git
cd healthcare-rag-agent
2. Install Dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Configure Environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your OPENAI_API_KEY
4. Run the Application
UI (AI Healthcare Copilot)
streamlit run streamlit_app/app_healthcare.py --server.port 8501
API Server
uvicorn api.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
ποΈ Architecture
System Overview
5-Stage Pipeline:
1. Router β Classify query intent (7 types: symptom, drug, emergency, etc.)
2. Retriever β Hybrid search (FAISS vector + BM25 keyword matching)
3. Web/Search β Optional fallback for current information
4. Reasoning β Structured multi-step analysis with evidence grounding
5. Evaluation β Quality validation, confidence scoring, safety checks
Production Layers:
- Authentication - JWT tokens with role-based access control
- Knowledge Graph - Disease-symptom-drug relationship mapping
- Clinical Alerts - Emergency detection for 14 critical symptoms
- Session Memory - Database-backed conversation history
- Audit Logging - HIPAA-compliant activity tracking
- Monitoring - Real-time metrics and performance analytics

π Deployment
Docker
docker-compose up --build
Hugging Face Spaces (API) + Streamlit Cloud (UI)
Step 1 β Build the FAISS index locally (one-time setup):
python vectorstore/ingest.py
git add vectorstore/faiss_index/
git commit -m "chore: add pre-built FAISS index"
git push
Step 2 β Deploy API to Hugging Face Spaces:
- Create a Space at huggingface.co/new-space β SDK: Docker
- Link your GitHub repo under Files β Link to GitHub repository
- Add secrets in Space Settings:
OPENAI_API_KEY,JWT_SECRET_KEY,CORS_ORIGINS - The Space auto-builds from the
Dockerfileand redeploys on every push tomain
Step 3 β Deploy UI to Streamlit Community Cloud:
- Go to share.streamlit.io β New app
- Repo:
Santhakumarramesh/healthcare-rag-agent, branch:main - Main file:
streamlit_app/app_healthcare.py - Requirements file:
requirements-ui.txt - Add secret:
API_BASE_URL = https://your-username-healthcare-rag-api.hf.space
Step 4 β CI/CD auto-sync (every push to main auto-deploys): Add to GitHub β Settings β Secrets β Actions:
- Secret
HF_TOKENβ from huggingface.co/settings/tokens (write scope) - Variable
HF_USERNAMEβ your Hugging Face username
