CYCLE.0101
Symptom characterization
Onset, provocation, quality, location, severity, timing, associated factors. Systematically cover the dimensions of the presenting complaint.
REASONING ENGINE
Interviews that think like clinicians.
Your co-clinician doesn't follow a script. It follows clinical logic — adapting questions in real time based on what the patient describes, just like you would during an in-person interview.
Paper forms don't ask follow-up questions.
A patient checks "chest pain" on a form. That's all you know. Your co-clinician hears "chest pain" and immediately follows up: where exactly? when did it start? does it radiate? what makes it worse? It adapts the interview in real time, following the same clinical reasoning you use.
This is adaptive clinical reasoning, not a flowchart.
02.FRAMEWORKTHREE-CYCLE CLINICAL INTERVIEW
Questions that adapt to what patients say.
CYCLE.0202
Associated symptoms
Related complaints that establish clinical context. Headache → vision changes, neck stiffness, photophobia — without being prompted.
CYCLE.0303
Relevant history
Previous similar episodes, chronic conditions, medications, family history. Only relevant history — not a 50-question review of systems.
