Scientific Methodology

The Science of
Deterministic Intelligence

How we eliminate hallucinations by combining Large Language Models with structured Knowledge Graphs and formal medical ontologies.

1. GraphRAG Architecture

Standard RAG relies on vector similarity, which often retrieves irrelevant chunks. We use Graph-based Retrieval Augmented Generation to traverse semantic relationships (e.g., "Drug A" ➔ *treats* ➔ "Condition B"), ensuring contextually accurate retrieval.

2. Ontology Enforcement

Our model output is strictly constrained by standardized medical ontologies including SNOMED-CT, RxNorm, and LOINC. If a concept doesn't exist in the verified taxonomy, it is flagged for review.

3. The "Judge" Layer

Every response passes through a secondary "Judge Model" trained on medical guidelines. It verifies that every claim is explicitly supported by the retrieved citations before the answer is shown to the user.
