Kalya Research: Complementary and Alternative Medicine Virtual Research Assistant from Biomedical Literature
November 2023
TLDR Kalya Research is an AI tool that effectively finds and analyzes alternative medicine literature, saving researchers time.
Kalya Research (KR) is an artificial intelligence-based medical assistant tool designed to help medical researchers by selecting and characterizing literature on complementary and alternative medicines (CAM). It uses rule models and ontologies to suggest relevant and recent CAM publications and provides analytical visualizations of key indicators. KR was tested against Medline for its efficacy in finding CAM literature related to alopecia in breast cancer patients and was found to be a relevant and time-saving resource. The tool is continually being improved with expansions to cover additional health topics and new features like text annotations.
