I like your idea for several reasons. First is that it’s not defi. I think ICP needs to diversify in terms of the types of projects it has. It’s too defi focused although I understand that’s where a lot of the money is at for crypto.
Another reason I like your project is because I can see Ai being integrated more into the medical field. I read a study where it was determined that doctors were copy/pasting from ChatGPT in their articles for academic journals. Surely, they wouldn’t mind also using Ai to aid in diagnoses, as well. In fact, some of them do rely on WebMD as a second opinion, but instead of Googling for the information themselves, an Ai project like yours, can sort of automate that process by retrieving the information for them.
I hope you introduce yourselves more, your background, and talk more on the need for this project, it’s potential in the market, etc. LFG @ICP.

Hi, nice work!
I’m curious on the tech side of things, are you storing the model on chain?

Hi! Yes, we are storing our diagnose models on chain.
Thank you for your interest!

Good project definitely helpful
Just curious what models are you using for diagnosis are they opensource ?
Are you planning to fine tune the models furthermore based on users data ?

Hi Txo, Thank you for your interest !
We are currently training our models from scratch. However, we are considering open-sourcing them in the future.
While our current plans do not include storing user data for fine-tuning purposes, we do intend to create a feedback system to identify models that need further fine-tuning and improvement.
You can review our detailed plans in the [grant application](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/maia-medical-ai-assistant/32922) we recently submitted. We look forward to your feedback!

I completely agree! AI in medicine is one of the most sought-after fields for startups worldwide, along with small fine-tuned models and cybersecurity.
On the other hand, DeFi seems like an overhyped issue that doesn’t truly address people’s needs, given the ongoing efforts to attract users and liquidity. Bitcoin and stablecoins have long resolved the problem of cross-border transfers without the need for a regulator and small fee.
