Idea
An AI-powered summarisation platform that condenses clinical documents to enhance communication between healthcare providers and patients.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces an Iterative Self-Prompting method that refines task-specific prompts for large language models to summarise clinical documents. It uniquely combines few-shot learning with lexical and embedding metrics to guide fine-tuning, achieving high semantic equivalence with reference summaries. This approach improves over prior work by focusing on perspective-aware iterative refinement tailored to clinical text.
Market Size (TAM)
$2–10B TAM, $1–2B SAM; assumption: growing demand for AI-driven clinical documentation tools in healthcare systems worldwide.

Research Paper Overview
MaLei at MultiClinSUM: Summarisation of Clinical Documents using Perspective-Aware Iterative Self-Prompting with LLMs
Summary
This paper presents a method for summarising lengthy clinical case documents using an Iterative Self-Prompting technique on large language models. The approach generates and refines task-specific prompts via few-shot learning and uses lexical and embedding metrics to guide fine-tuning. Evaluated on 3,396 clinical reports, the model achieved high semantic equivalence with reference summaries, improving communication between patients and clinicians.
