Idea type: Swamp

The market has seen several mediocre solutions that nobody loves. Unless you can offer something fundamentally different, you’ll likely struggle to stand out or make money.

Should You Build It?

Don't build it.

Your are here

Your idea of creating a virtual assistant FAQ for the NHS, enhanced with a ChatGPT wrapper to summarize content and provide source links, falls into a crowded space. Our analysis shows that similar products exist, which puts you in the 'Swamp' category, meaning you're entering a market with several existing, and possibly mediocre, solutions. With 5 similar products already out there, the competition is real. Engagement with these similar products is also quite low, with an average of only 1 comment per product. This suggests that capturing user attention and gaining traction will be challenging, as it appears users are not actively engaging or seeking out solutions like this in droves.

Recommendations

  1. Given the existing solutions and low engagement in this space, thoroughly research why current virtual assistant and FAQ solutions haven't fully succeeded within the NHS. Understand their limitations, user pain points, and unmet needs. Focus on finding the gaps that you can uniquely address.
  2. If you decide to proceed, identify a specific group within the NHS that is particularly underserved by existing FAQ and virtual assistant tools. Instead of targeting the entire NHS at once, focusing on a niche, e.g. nurses in a specific department or doctors dealing with specific types of patients, will allow you to tailor the tool to their needs, and provide much needed value. This tailored approach might increase the likelihood of adoption.
  3. Explore the possibility of building tools or features that enhance the capabilities of existing virtual assistant and FAQ platforms used by the NHS. Rather than competing directly, consider integrating your ChatGPT summarization feature into existing platforms like Confluence or Sharepoint, as one similar product has already done. This could be a faster route to adoption and provide value without the need to build an entire solution from scratch.
  4. Carefully evaluate the regulatory landscape and data privacy requirements within the NHS before developing your solution. Ensure your ChatGPT wrapper and data handling practices fully comply with GDPR, NHS data security standards, and other relevant regulations. Non-compliance can lead to significant legal and reputational risks.
  5. Given the comments in similar products, consider the need to create a solution that appreciates freedom to express without multiple choice answers. Design your tool to provide accurate summaries of medical advice and guidelines while maintaining a human-like interaction that is free of bias.
  6. Before investing heavily, create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and test it with a small group of NHS staff. Gather feedback on its usability, accuracy, and overall value. Use this feedback to iterate on your solution and ensure it meets the real-world needs of your target users.
  7. Consider exploring adjacent problems within the NHS that might be more promising and less saturated. For example, instead of focusing solely on FAQs, explore how AI can improve patient communication, automate administrative tasks, or assist with clinical decision support. Expanding your scope might uncover more valuable and less competitive opportunities.
  8. If, after careful consideration, the challenges and competition seem too high, be willing to pivot or save your energy for a different opportunity. Starting a company is hard work, and it is perfectly acceptable to move on from the idea if the market is not conducive to success.

Questions

  1. What specific unmet needs of NHS staff will your virtual assistant address better than existing solutions, and how will you validate these needs before investing significant resources?
  2. How will you ensure that your ChatGPT-powered summarization tool provides accurate, unbiased, and up-to-date information, especially given the rapidly evolving nature of medical knowledge and the potential for AI to generate incorrect or misleading content?
  3. What is your plan to gain traction and user adoption within the NHS, considering the low engagement observed in similar products and the potential for resistance to new technologies within a large, established organization?

This chart summarizes all the similar products we found for your idea in a single plot.

The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments. The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.

The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category. The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.

The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.

Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.

Automating Patient Interview with GPT

25 Jan 2023 Medical Artificial Intelligence

This demo collects patient information in an open-ended and conversational format and then writes a preliminary medical note based on patient responses.Many GPT-3 applications focus on GPT answering user queries; here, we flip it around, with the system asking the user instead.I think open-ended conversational question-asking (that maintains long-term coherence, for which we use SNOMED-CT ontology and some rules) is especially important in medicine. Most existing systems rely on multiple-choice questions with a heavy amount of medical reasoning, but that’s very hard to get right. You can’t enumerate all the possible ways a patient can be sick, which is why many doctors begin the patient interview by letting the patient tell their medical story.This is also not supposed to replace doctors. Many emergencies and other complicated medical cases require strong clinical reasoning to collect medical history, which a system like this lacks. Here, we just try to collect some information before the encounter to help contextualize the physician about the patient from the get-go and to empower doctors and nurses to do triage.A couple of notes on the technical side: (1) This is openai dependent (each turn is a variable, but often 3-5 openai calls, if openai is over loaded, this means that the responses can time out). (2) The chatbot session url is a permalink. It can be shared/refreshed/etc. If it times out, you can try to continue the discussion at a later time (just go/refresh the permalink).

Appreciates freedom to express without multiple-choice answers.
