Hey HN, My name is David and I'm a family doctor. I made an app where you can message doctors with health related questions.

I made this after having to wait for a doctor myself for over an hour for a simple question. Plumfin lets you send your question to a licensed doctor and get a notification when they reply. This saves you an hour of waiting every time you want to ask a doctor a question.

I haven't gotten Plumfin HIPAA/PIPDEA certified yet, so for now it's only for general health information rather than personalized medical advice. Meaning you shouldn't include personally identifying information.

How it works: It uses a llama 3.2 model fine tuned on medical Q&A with RAG on a medical database. It displays this information on an internal doctor-facing dashboard, where doctors (ie. me) can select between 4 LLM written responses and edit them before sending them back. It also sends a notification to their phone to alert them of a new message. When a doctor sends a reply, you get alerted through your email of the new message.

Let me know what you think. I'd appreciate any thoughts or feedback you might have.
