Idea
A clinical decision support system that improves disease prediction accuracy and generates clear, evidence-based explanations for healthcare providers.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces RCA, a novel architecture that integrates multiple language models to learn from direct experience through iterative rule refinement and distribution-aware reasoning. Unlike prior models that produce either accurate but opaque or fluent but unsupported outputs, RCA builds a deep internal understanding of data, enhancing both predictive accuracy and explanation quality simultaneously.
Market Size (TAM)
$20–50B TAM for clinical AI decision support systems; $2–10B SAM from hospitals and healthcare providers adopting AI-driven diagnostics. Driven by increasing demand for explainable AI and improved diagnostic accuracy.

Research Paper Overview
Grounding AI Explanations in Experience: A Reflective Cognitive Architecture for Clinical Decision Support
Summary
This paper proposes the Reflective Cognitive Architecture (RCA), a framework coordinating multiple large language models to learn from direct experience for clinical decision support. RCA iteratively refines rules based on prediction errors and uses dataset global statistics to ground reasoning, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy and generating clear, evidence-based explanations. Evaluated on three datasets against 22 baselines, RCA shows up to 40% relative improvement in accuracy and excels in trustworthy, logical clinical explanations.
