Healthcare Chatbot & Disease Prediction System

A professional-grade medical consultation system consisting of a Core API Gateway and a Machine Learning Inference Service.

🏗️ System Architecture

• Core API (core-api/): Built with FastAPI. Manages users, chat history, and coordinates with the ML service. (Port 8000)
• ML Service (ml-service/): Transformer-based NLP and ML models (XGBoost, MLP) for symptom extraction and disease prediction. (Port 8081)

🚀 Quick Start (Windows)

The simplest way to start the entire system is using the master batch file:

1. Run Everything: Double-click start_all.bat at the root.
   • This will automatically create virtual environments, install dependencies, and launch both services in separate windows.

🛠️ Individual Setup

Each component can also be managed independently:

Core API Gateway

• Folder: core-api/
• Port: 8000
• Startup: run_backend.bat
• Swagger: http://localhost:8000/swagger

ML Inference Service

• Folder: ml-service/
• Port: 8081
• Startup: run_api.bat
• Swagger: http://localhost:8081/swagger

🧪 Testing

• Core API Tests: Run core-api/run_tests.bat
• ML Service Tests: Run ml-service/run_testing.bat
