A large part of the global population still lacks easy and timely access to high-quality healthcare despite the WHO’s effort towards “global healthcare coverage.” What if generative artificial intelligence could help us achieve it faster? LLMs such as OpenAI’s chatGPT or Meta’s LLama could be effective in helping doctors and health operators become more efficient, particularly those working in developing countries, where the ratio between patients and medics is particularly unfavorable.

To try and solve this problem, Modem Works and Map Project Office propose combining advanced software with specialized hardware to create medical aids for underserved communities. The studios developed several concept devices grouped under the name Smart Aid Kit. The products would be robust, user-friendly, and powered by a sophisticated medical Large Language Model. The solar-powered kit, designed for public accessibility, could help users identify necessary medical devices through an interactive interface. The concept kit includes a stethoscope, a spirometer, an ophthalmoscope, and a skin analyzer, each an AI-based version of traditional equipment used by human doctors. Hand-held sensors in the kit assess health conditions, with the core LLM unit providing diagnoses and medical advice.
