Augmenting Rather Than Replacing the Doctor-Patient Relationship
At Thumos Care, we've always believed that AI should augment, not replace, the doctor-patient relationship. Today, we're excited to announce a major step forward in that vision: Clinician Personalization.
The Challenge
AI-powered health platforms face a fundamental tension. On one hand, AI can analyze biomarkers, identify patterns, and provide evidence-based recommendations at scale. On the other hand, every clinician brings decades of training, clinical experience, and a nuanced understanding of their patients that no algorithm can fully replicate.
Too often, patients receive AI-generated health advice that feels generic or worse, conflicts with their doctor's philosophy of care.
Our Solution: AI That Learns Your Doctor's Approach
We've built a system that allows physicians to teach our AI how they practice medicine. Through a comprehensive onboarding wizard, doctors can now:
- Define Their Practice Orientation
- Risk tolerance (conservative to proactive)
- Evidence threshold (strict adherence to guidelines vs. openness to emerging research)
- Communication style (reassuring, neutral, or direct)
- Specify Clinical Positions
Doctors can review 40+ evidence-based clinical positions across conditions like diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and mental health—agreeing, disagreeing, or adding nuance with their own rationale.
- Share Case-Based Preferences
Through 12 realistic clinical vignettes, the system learns how a doctor approaches complex decisions where reasonable clinicians might disagree.
- Curate Adjunctive Interventions
Physicians specify which supplements, lifestyle modifications, and complementary approaches align with their practice philosophy.
What This Means for Patients
When a patient connected to a personalized clinician uses Thumos Care, every AI-generated insight, from health analysis to chat responses, reflects their doctor's documented preferences.
- If your doctor is conservative about supplements, the AI won't suggest them without evidence
- If your doctor has a specific approach to managing anxiety, the AI incorporates that perspective
- If your doctor disagrees with a guideline based on clinical experience, the AI acknowledges their reasoning
We believe the future of healthcare AI isn't about replacing clinical judgment, it's about amplifying it. If you're a physician interested in personalizing AI for your patients, or a health system looking to integrate AI that respects clinical autonomy, we'd love to connect.
Thumos Care is an AI-powered health optimization platform that combines biomarker analysis, knowledge graphs, and now clinician personalization to deliver truly individualized health insights.
