| # Maternal Health RAG Chatbot Implementation Plan | |
| ## Branch Name | |
| `feature/maternal-health-rag-chatbot` | |
| ## Background and Motivation | |
| We're building a Retrieval-Augmented-Generation (RAG) chatbot specifically for **maternal health** using Sri Lankan clinical guidelines. The goal is to create an AI assistant that can help healthcare professionals access evidence-based maternal health information quickly and accurately. | |
| **Available Guidelines Identified:** | |
| - National maternal care guidelines (2 volumes) | |
| - Management of normal labour | |
| - Puerperal sepsis management | |
| - Thrombocytopenia in pregnancy | |
| - RhESUS guidelines | |
| - Postnatal care protocols | |
| - Intrapartum fever management | |
| - Assisted vaginal delivery | |
| - Breech presentation management | |
| - SLJOG obstetrics guidelines | |
| **Key Enhancement**: Using **pdfplumber** instead of pymupdf4llm for superior table and flowchart extraction in medical documents. | |
| ## Key Challenges and Analysis | |
| 1. **Complex Medical Tables**: Dosing charts, contraindication tables require precise extraction | |
| 2. **Flowcharts**: Decision trees and clinical pathways need structural preservation | |
| 3. **Multi-document corpus**: ~15 maternal health documents with varying formats | |
| 4. **Clinical accuracy**: Maternal health decisions are critical - citations essential | |
| 5. **Specialized terminology**: Obstetric terms requiring careful processing | |
