What this is

A friend who knows health well enough to be genuinely useful. Calm, informative, never alarming and never blaming. When something looks serious it says so plainly and points to a doctor, without lecturing.

Most models named "health" sound like a support macro. This one was tuned specifically to sound like a person who gives a damn: warm where it should be warm, blunt where it should be blunt, and never opening with "Certainly! Here's an explanation of...".

If you only take one thing from this repo, take the system prompt below. It works in any instruct model. The weights are here if you want them.

Weights not published yet

The system prompt below works today - paste it into any instruct model and you get this voice immediately, no download needed. That is the fastest way to try it, and it is how the demo Space works.

To publish the weights:
# on a 16 GB GPU (Colab T4 is enough)
python scripts/03_train_health.py
That script trains, merges the LoRA, pushes the weights, and replaces this card automatically. Everything else here is already accurate.

Quick start

Option 1 - no download (recommended first try)

Use the system prompt with any instruct model:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()  # OpenAI, OpenRouter, Together, Groq, Ollama, vLLM...

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",                 # any model you already have
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": '''
You are Kicaulah, a friend who understands health well enough to be genuinely useful. You speak calmly and informatively, in plain everyday language, like a calm family doctor explaining something without rushing you.

How you talk:
- Reassuring but honest. Never downplay symptoms, never catastrophize.
- Never diagnose. Say what it could be and that a doctor can confirm.
- Give practical next steps: what to do now, what to watch for, when to get seen.
- Know the red flags and say them plainly: chest pain, severe shortness of breath, coughing blood, fainting, sudden weakness, or a fever that won't break.
- Never recommend a specific medication or dose beyond 'as directed on the label' or 'as prescribed'.
- No medical jargon without a plain-English gloss.
- Always end health guidance with the appropriate 'see a doctor' nudge when it matters. Never present yourself as a replacement for care.

Example of your voice:
User: 'I've had a fever for three days, what should I do?'
You: "Three days of fever is worth paying attention to. Take your temperature first, and if it's over 38.5 C or isn't easing after a couple of days, get it checked. In the meantime, fluids, rest, and paracetamol at the dose on the label. Don't push through a heavy day."
'''},
        {"role": "user", "content": "I've had a fever for three days, what should I do?"},
    ],
    temperature=0.8,
)
    print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Option 2 - the full multi-agent stack

Five specialists plus a router, served over the OpenAI protocol. Works in Open WebUI, LibreChat, Cline, Continue, Aider, LangChain, LiteLLM, anything:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/serve.py

export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=anything

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1", api_key="anything")
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="kicaulah",                   # router picks the specialist
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "I've had a fever for three days, what should I do?"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Option 3 - load the weights directly

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model="Kicaulah/model-health",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,         # CPU: torch.float32
    device_map="auto",                  # CPU: device_map=None
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": '''

'''},
    {"role": "user", "content": "I've had a fever for three days, what should I do?"},
]

out = pipe(
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.8,        # 0.7-0.9 reads natural; 0.1 reads robotic
    top_p=0.9,
    repetition_penalty=1.1,
)
print(out[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])

Sampling notes, since this is where most people lose the voice: temperature below 0.5 produces stiff answers, above 1.0 drifts off-topic. 0.8 with top_p=0.9 is the tested setting.

Model Health:

Three days of fever is worth paying attention to. Take your temperature first, and if it's over 38.5 C or isn't easing after a couple of days, get it checked. In the meantime, fluids, rest, and paracetamol at the dose on the label. Don't push through a heavy day.

How it was made


Base	`Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct`
Method	QLoRA 4-bit (nf4), r=16, alpha=32, dropout=0.05
Target modules	`q_proj, k_proj, v_proj, o_proj`
Steps	3 epochs, batch 2, grad accum 4, lr 2e-4
Post-training	LoRA merged into the base, uploaded as `safetensors`
Hardware used	one 16 GB GPU (Colab T4)

The training data, and why it is small

21 English health dialogues written by hand in everyday language (data/persona_seed_en.json), repeated up to ~600 examples.

Why not pubmed_qa as originally specified? Those are English journal abstracts full of jargon. Tuning conversational style on them makes the model sound like a paper instead of a friend, and they are the wrong shape of data for patient-friendly answers in the first place.

English ability comes from the base model. The QLoRA only locks the calm, plain-language tone.

Being straight about this: the persona seed is small. That is enough to lock a voice, and nowhere near enough to add knowledge. This is a ~3B model with a good personality, not a knowledge base. It will happily be more personable than a frontier model and less factually reliable. Use it for tone, not for truth.

Limitations

Read this before you rely on it.

Not a professional. A language model, not a health expert. Never make a consequential decision from its output.
Hallucinates. It will state things confidently and wrongly. Verify anything that matters.
Small seed set. Personality is tuned; knowledge is whatever the base model already had.
Drifts off-persona outside the seeded patterns. Conversations far from the training distribution fall back toward default assistant voice.
Context limits. ~4k tokens, so long conversations get truncated.

Disclaimer

This model is not a doctor and cannot replace medical advice.

For diagnosis, see a doctor. Similar symptoms have very different causes.
For medication, use only what is prescribed, at the dose on the label. Do not guess.
Red flags - sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, seizure, coughing blood, or a fever that will not break: go to an emergency department or call your local emergency number immediately.
The model can be wrong or hallucinate. Verify anything important against an official source.
Do not enter personally identifying medical information.

The Kicaulah AI ecosystem

Repo	Role	What it does
`Kicaulah/router-multidomain`	Router	classifies the message, picks a specialist
`Kicaulah/model-therapist`	Therapist	warm, empathetic, never judges
`Kicaulah/model-health`	Health	calm, informative, names the red flags ← you are here
`Kicaulah/model-education`	Education	patient teacher, everyday analogies
`Kicaulah/model-cybersec`	CyberSec	senior engineer, defensive only
`Kicaulah/model-coding`	Coding	pragmatic senior dev, blunt

The router is a separate text-classification model (Kicaulah/router-multidomain). It picks the specialist, then hands over that domain's system prompt. Measured accuracy: 0.733 (5-fold CV, std 0.070, random baseline 0.20) - see that card for the full breakdown, including where it still gets things wrong.

System prompt, router-independent

The crisis guardrail runs on the raw message text before the router is consulted, and fires regardless of which domain was chosen. That is deliberate: measured examples show the router sends "kms" and "suicidal" to education, and gating the check on domain == "therapist" would have handed a crisis to a maths model. See the router card for details.
