Setup

Setting up environment

1. Install Python 3.8 or later
2. Install the required packages with pip install -r requirements.txt

Downloading the database

Prepare the dataset by going into the "scraper" folder with command cd scraper and running python scraper.py --journal "Medical Case Reports". This will download a articles.sqlite file containing a database of medical documents.

Setup OpenAI API

At the root directory, create a file called credentials.py and add the OpenAI API key as a variable called OPENAI_API_KEY. To create the OpenAI API Key, you would need to setup an OpenAI account. Please refer to this website for more details. OpenAI Setup Documentation

Starting the backend flask server

$ cd ai-diagnosis-system/src/backend
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ python app.py

Starting the frontend next server

$ cd ai-diagnosis-system
$ npm run dev (if not working, run 'npm run build' first)

Debugging the system

Debugging the backend

If the backend, especially the OpenAI API call is not working, it is most likely because credentials.py was not placed in the right directory.

Debugging in general

If a problem occurs, try running everything again. These errors are rare (and we have tried our best to mitigate this), but because the AI is not stable, it can cause errors.
