AI-powered patient guidance for breathing retraining
International Clinic Network
The Challenge
A specialist clinic network had decades of expertise in breathing retraining techniques, but their knowledge was locked in the heads of a small number of practitioners. Patients needed guidance between sessions, but the clinic couldn't scale one-to-one support to thousands of patients globally. Generic health apps didn't understand their specific methodology.
What We Did
We built an AI breathing guide that understands the clinic's specific methodology. The system uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to answer patient questions using the clinic's own educational materials — never making up medical advice. Interactive diagrams guide exercises. Text-to-speech provides audio coaching. The interface is calming and accessible, designed for patients who may be experiencing breathing difficulties.
The Results
Specialist knowledge now available 24/7 to patients worldwide. Practitioners freed from repetitive Q&A to focus on complex cases. Patients receive consistent, accurate guidance aligned with the clinic's methodology. The system explicitly flags when questions fall outside its knowledge and directs patients to their practitioner.
