Pancrepal was developed and launched by fellow patient SamQin as a RAG application, aimed at helping hundreds of thousands of newly diagnosed patients and survivors each year to bridge the information gap between medical professionals and patients regarding specialized medical and treatment information. With Pancrepal, patients can access 24/7 support to efficiently and accurately understand their condition, treatment terms, standardized treatment guidelines, and the complex information surrounding comprehensive care. This enables patients to overcome panic, choose scientific and effective treatment routes, and ultimately achieve longer treatment benefits, thus extending their life window.
Pancrepal has been online for 8 months, assisting over 3000 patients by providing stable support and gathering professional doctors who endorse AI technology applications, patient groups, the open-source tech community, and social welfare advocates. In July 2024, the project officially went open source, thanks to prominent figures like @RichardLin and Mr. Zhuang from the Open Source Society, leading and driving the establishment, organization, promotion, and enhancement of the open-source community. The launch of Pancrepal has pioneered and validated a new model for AI intelligent services for cancer patients across all types of tumors. We look forward to partners in the open-source community to take action and use their unique "technology + AI + humanities" capabilities to replicate this project, swiftly providing more similar applications for tens of millions of CA patients and offering them choices.
We highly recommend developing and launching related AI assistants for patients with lung cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, liver cancer, and colorectal cancer. Please feel free to contact the project organizers to exchange information and join hands for public welfare!
https://aibot.samqin.asia - An app aiming to help patients & familiy to understand therapy terms and treatment standard knowledges https://xingma.samqin.asia - An AI chatbotxRAG app specifically designed for pancreatic patients and their families. It aims to provide psychological counseling and stress relief in conjunction with comprehensive treatment, helping patients and their families maintain a stable mental state to achieve more positive treatment outcomes.
Centered around comprehensive treatment, "Pancrepal Family" focuses on three main aspects of cancer treatment: medical care, nutritional support, and psychological support, which directly influence the outcomes, known as the "window of life."
In addition to AI-powered patient applications like Pancrepal, which assist in the treatment process, we are also introducing specialized tools such as "StarMom Chat - Pancreatic CA Patient Psychological Soothing Assistant" for psychological support, and "Little Foodie - Patient Nutrition and Recipe Assistant" for nutritional guidance. Together, these form a unified triad of comprehensive applications aimed at efficiently providing information to patients and their families.
We encourage replication of this project to develop applications for multiple cancer types, emphasizing the necessity of integrating these three aspects for effective patient care.
##Project Open-Source Principles and Oath:
By using the PancrePal project's open-source framework, which includes, but is not limited to, the technical framework, product framework, and knowledge base data in whole or in part, you automatically agree to accept the following principles and oath:
-
Non-Commercial Use for Patients: We will never charge patients and their families for the use of the "PancrePal" intelligent assistant and will not use it for any commercialized traffic diversion.
-
Respect for Intellectual Property: We will respect the ownership rights of those who contribute knowledge and will not misuse the knowledge base for profit. The sources of the knowledge base will be disclosed publicly.
-
Standardized Treatment Orientation: All content will be based on the principle of "standardized treatment," and "evidence-based" will be the first principle for the admission into the knowledge base.
The PancrePal project utilizes the following open-source projects, and we express our gratitude to the contributors of these projects for their dedication. They have created a value of technological warmth for patients.
Fastgpt: A crucial RAG stack to build Pancrepal and provide steady & excellent service; Chatgpt-on-wechat: Integrating AI capabilities with messaging platforms. Dify: A project that has supported the customization and functionality of our application. 0-1 AI, one of LLM Large Language Model Leaders: Zero One Team offered greatest support & sponsored the consumption of tokens, allowing thousands of patients to enjoy the benefits of technological advancements. Upon learning about the progress of the Pancrepal project, Stepfun team @Sunny Fu Kai and @simin proactively reached out to support the project with generous token donations. Product manager @Chen Xuedan and development lead @halo offered technical support for prompt optimization. Stepchat's involvement not only underscores
the values of the open-source world but also conveys an important message: There is always a group of people willing to leverage open-source AI technology and human warmth to create more applications like Pancrepal, helping cancer patients in China and those benefiting from China's medical aid internationally, providing them with the opportunity to overcome information gaps, choose scientifically sound, standardized treatments, and achieve life-extending benefits.
Additionally, we extend our thanks to other individuals in the open-source community who have supported the launch of PancrePa, including @Richard, the guider leading PancrePla to opensource world, @Vlinic-expert in LLM app coding and pilot of the LLM RED TEAM to improve security, etc.
