Three-Layer OS Architecture

A modular, scalable system built for clinical-grade accuracy and 20-year longevity. Click each layer to explore its technical implementation.

Intake Engine

Conversational Data Collection Layer

Multi-modal patient narrative capture system that transforms unstructured input into structured clinical data using adaptive questioning, NLP extraction, and medical ontology mapping.

Core Components

Conversational AI Interface (Voice + Text)
Adaptive Question Engine
Symptom Extraction Pipeline
Medical Ontology Mapper (ICD-10, SNOMED CT)
Data Validation & Normalization
Multi-language Support Layer

Data Flow Pipeline

Input
Raw patient narrative (voice, text, structured forms)
Process
NLP extraction → Symptom normalization → Ontology mapping
Output
Structured clinical data objects (symptoms, timeline, context)

Technology Stack

LLM: GPT-4 + Domain-Specific Fine-tuning
Speech-to-Text: Whisper API
NLP: spaCy + Custom Medical NER
Ontology: ICD-10, SNOMED CT, LOINC

Data Schema Architecture

High-level data structures flowing through the system (no sensitive PHI details).

Intake Data Schema

  "patient_narrative": "string",
  "symptoms": [
    "array of symptom objects"
  ],

  "context": {
    "demographics": "object",
    "history": "array",
    "medications": "array"
  }
}

Reasoning Output Schema

{
  "triage_level": "enum (emergency, urgent, routine, self-care)",
  "differential_pathways": [
    "array of clinical pathways"
  ],
  "red_flags": [
    "array of critical findings"
  ],
  "confidence_scores": "object with confidence intervals",
  "recommendations": "array of evidence-based actions"

Hybrid AI Model Stack

Clinical-grade AI requires more than LLMs. Homy combines multiple AI paradigms for safety and accuracy.

Large Language Models (LLMs)

Use Case: Natural language understanding, adaptive questioning, symptom extraction from patient narratives.

Primary Model
GPT-4 with medical fine-tuning
Safety Constraint
Structured output validation

Rule-Based Clinical Reasoning

Use Case: Red-flag detection, clinical pathway validation, evidence-based guidelines enforcement.

Knowledge Base
ICD-10, SNOMED CT, NICE Guidelines
Engine
Custom rule engine + ontology reasoner

Machine Learning Risk Models

Use Case: Triage risk scoring, urgency prediction, outcome forecasting with confidence intervals.

Algorithms
XGBoost, Random Forest, Neural Nets
Validation
Clinical benchmark datasets

Hybrid Advantage: LLMs provide flexibility and language understanding, rule engines ensure safety and clinical validity, ML models deliver quantified risk assessment. The combination achieves 92.4% triage accuracy with 98.7% red-flag sensitivity.

20-YEAR ARCHITECTURE

Built to Last Two Decades

Homy OS is designed with architectural principles that enable continuous evolution without breaking changes. Modularity is not a feature - it's the foundation.

1

Layer Independence

Each layer operates independently with well-defined APIs and contracts

Long-Term Benefit
Individual layers can be upgraded, scaled, or replaced without affecting the entire system
2

Polyglot Architecture

Best-fit technology stack per layer (Python NLP, Go coordination, TypeScript UI)

Long-Term Benefit
Optimize each component with the most appropriate tools and frameworks
3

Event-Driven Communication

Asynchronous event bus enables loose coupling between system components

Long-Term Benefit
Resilient to failures, scalable under load, easy to extend with new services
4

Version-Controlled Models

All AI models versioned, tracked, and deployable independently with rollback capability

Long-Term Benefit
Safe experimentation, A/B testing, and rapid iteration without system-wide risk

Engineering for Healthcare's Future

Healthcare evolves slowly, but technology moves fast. Homy OS bridges this gap with an architecture that can absorb new AI breakthroughs, regulatory requirements, and clinical practices without requiring a rebuild. We're not building for today. We're building for 2045.
