A healthcare technology organization aimed to improve access to reliable disease-related information through an AI-powered conversational assistant. The objective was to build an intelligent system capable of understanding user health queries, retrieving trusted medical information from healthcare documents, and delivering accurate, context-aware responses related to disease prevention, management, and treatment. The solution was designed to support queries across common health concerns such as seasonal illnesses, skin infections, and preventive care by leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Multi-Agent AI architecture.
