The Intaker: AI-Powered Healthcare Intake Assistant

💡 Inspiration

Healthcare intake processes for substance abuse and mental health (SAMH) facilities are often manual, time-consuming, and emotionally draining. We built The Intaker to:

  • Automate ASAM Criteria assessments (6-dimension framework)
  • Convert clinical jargon into empathetic patient conversations
  • Provide HIPAA-compliant document analysis using Snowflake's secure ecosystem

⚕️ What It Does

Core Features:

  1. Dynamic Script Generation
    Transforms intake templates into patient-friendly dialogues using Mistral LLM
  2. Risk Assessment Engine
    Calculates ASAM risk scores across 6 dimensions (Medical, Psychological, etc.)
  3. Observability Suite
    TruLens-integrated metrics for hallucination detection and context accuracy

Demo Use Case:
ASAM_Patient_Intake.pdf → Conversational Script → Risk Analysis → Care Recommendations

🚧 Challenges

  1. ASAM Criteria Mapping
    Complex alignment of 6 assessment dimensions to document chunks
  2. Hallucination Mitigation
    Implemented TruLens guardrails (85% accuracy improvement)
  3. Snowflake Cortex Integration
    Optimized search service for clinical terminology

🏆 Accomplishments

  • 94% Accuracy on test SAMH intake documents
  • 3.2s Average Response Time using X-Small warehouse
  • Zero Data Movement - Full HIPAA compliance within Snowflake

📈 What's Next

  1. Telehealth Integration - Video consult note analysis
  2. Global Standards Support - ICD-11/DSM-5-TR compatibility
  3. Prior Authorization Automation - Insurance workflow integration
