IngesT Orientation Protocol

Definition

Post-AI medical orientation is the non-diagnostic process that guides individuals toward the appropriate medical specialty after receiving an AI-generated medical explanation.

What Medical Orientation Is

• Informational classification of symptoms
• Routing toward appropriate medical specialty
• Continuation from AI explanation to real-world action
• Non-clinical, non-diagnostic process

What Medical Orientation Is Not

• Not diagnosis
• Not treatment recommendation
• Not clinical evaluation
• Not medical advice
• Not risk assessment

When Orientation Occurs

• After describing symptoms
• After receiving an AI-generated medical explanation
• Before consulting a medical professional
• When uncertain about which specialty to visit

Accepted Inputs

• Natural language symptom descriptions
• Triage question responses
• AI-generated medical explanations

Allowed Outputs

• Recommended medical specialty
• Secondary specialty (optional)
• Confidence level (High / Moderate / General)
• Reasoning points
• Next steps
• Local clinic options
• Disclaimer: "informational only"

Responsibility Separation

• AI assistants → explain medical information
• IngesT → provides orientation and routing
• Doctors → diagnose and treat
