# a knowledge base for medical clinics

**There are a few live clinic knowledge-base projects, but the market evidence is thin and the clearest need is for clinic FAQ and routing, not a generic knowledge base.**

## Who is already building this

*From data*

- wellface/llms is an AI-readable knowledge base for Wellface medical aesthetics clinics and was still being pushed in 2026-05, but it has no stars listed.
  - [wellface/llms](https://github.com/wellface/llms) `github` — 2026-03-10
- countable-web/cortico is a Jekyll blog serving as the knowledge base for cortico.ca medical clinic software; it is old and last pushed in 2021-06, so it looks unmaintained.
  - [countable-web/cortico](https://github.com/countable-web/cortico) `github` — 2020-02-14
- wallpapa/waleerat-clinic-kb is a machine-readable clinic knowledge base for AI training, retrieval, and citation; it was last pushed in 2026-05, but no stars were shown.
  - [wallpapa/waleerat-clinic-kb](https://github.com/wallpapa/waleerat-clinic-kb) `github` — 2026-05-03
- ncreighton/10b698ff-medical-practice-management-kn is a HIPAA-compliant Discord bot with instant ICD-10 lookups, billing codes, and a searchable practice management knowledge base; it was last pushed in 2026-07, but no stars were shown.
  - [ncreighton/10b698ff-medical-practice-management-kn](https://github.com/ncreighton/10b698ff-medical-practice-management-kn) `github` — 2026-05-20
- mcp/memory is a knowledge graph-based persistent memory system with 515,598 monthly pulls and 27 stars, so it is a live adjacent infrastructure project rather than a clinic-specific competitor.
  - [docker: mcp/memory](https://hub.docker.com/r/mcp/memory) `registries`

## What people actually say

*From data*

- "This would be great. I wish there was something out there that provided objective up-to-date interpretations of health-related medical publications applicable to everyday living." This is a first-person want for curated medical knowledge, though it is broader than clinics.
  - [Ideas We'd Like to Fund](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7380094) `intent` — 2014-03-11
- "I wish there was a site like NomadList, but for medical tourism." This shows a person looking for structured medical information, but for travel decisions rather than clinic operations.
  - [My adventures in medical tourism](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10733496) `intent` — 2015-12-14
- "It can become a very helpful knowledge base which can be referred to by practitioners and will be very useful for developing countries and clinics in remote areas." This is a first-person suggestion for a clinic-facing knowledge base with local medical staff input.
  - [Handbook of Covid-19 Prevention and Treatment from Hospital with 0% fatality (pdf)](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22624533) `hackernews` — 2020-03-19
- "I would like to fine-tune GPT4 turbo and benchmark it on the MultimedQA dataset." This is a first-person complaint about access for medical benchmarking, showing people are trying to build medical QA systems and hitting tooling limits.
  - [Access to GPT4 turbo fine-tuning for scientific benchmarking](https://community.openai.com/t/access-to-gpt4-turbo-fine-tuning-for-scientific-benchmarking/581249) `discourse` — 2024-01-10

## People asking to be sold to

*From data*

- "We’re looking for an iconic consumer company to reinvent health information." That is an explicit desire for a better medical information product.
  - [Ideas We'd Like to Fund](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7380094) `intent` — 2014-03-11
- "It can become a very helpful knowledge base which can be referred to by practitioners" is a direct statement that clinics and practitioners would use this kind of product.
  - [Handbook of Covid-19 Prevention and Treatment from Hospital with 0% fatality (pdf)](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22624533) `hackernews` — 2020-03-19
- "I wish there was a site like NomadList, but for medical tourism" is a paid-use-case-shaped request for structured, trustable medical information.
  - [My adventures in medical tourism](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10733496) `intent` — 2015-12-14
- "How can I make it compliant?" in response to a GPT being flagged as medical advice shows willingness to adopt medical knowledge tooling, if it can be made compliant.
  - [GPT rejected for public sharing: flagged as “medical advice” despite educational-only OTS/POTS design.how can I make it compliant?](https://community.openai.com/t/gpt-rejected-for-public-sharing-flagged-as-medical-advice-despite-educational-only-ots-pots-design-how-can-i-make-it-compliant/1289031) `discourse` — 2025-06-15
- "I would like to fine-tune GPT4 turbo and benchmark it" shows active demand from a builder who needs medical knowledge infrastructure and tooling support.
  - [Access to GPT4 turbo fine-tuning for scientific benchmarking](https://community.openai.com/t/access-to-gpt4-turbo-fine-tuning-for-scientific-benchmarking/581249) `discourse` — 2024-01-10
- "The knowledge base allows support agents to quickly locate answers to patient questions related to scheduling, billing, and account management." This is a market-shaped use case, though it comes from a page summary rather than a person speaking first-hand.
  - [Healthcare Knowledge Management](https://kmslh.com/blog/top-knowledge-software-healthcare) `tavily`

## Where the opening is

*Model estimate*

- The signals do not show a strong product that combines clinic policy, patient FAQ, scheduling, billing, triage, and compliance in one knowledge base for front-desk and clinical staff.

- Existing projects skew toward RAG chatbots, public health content, or generic knowledge graphs, not a clinic ops knowledge base with editable answers, role-based access, and source citations.

## How big the market might be

*Model estimate*

- This search found 5 named live or recently active adjacent projects, but only 1 clearly clinic-specific project with recent activity and no visible traction numbers.
  - [docker: mcp/memory](https://hub.docker.com/r/mcp/memory) `registries`
  - [wellface/llms](https://github.com/wellface/llms) `github` — 2026-03-10

- The largest monthly usage signal was 515,598 pulls for mcp/memory, which is strong usage for the adjacent knowledge-base infrastructure layer.
  - [docker: mcp/memory](https://hub.docker.com/r/mcp/memory) `registries`
- There were 4 first-hand complaints and 6 stated wants, which is enough to show demand signals but not enough to prove a large, validated market on its own.

## What could go wrong

*Model estimate*

- Medical advice, compliance, and hallucination risk are the obvious blockers; several signals explicitly mention compliance or safety around medical content.

- This can turn into a generic RAG/chatbot feature fast, which would put it in direct competition with broad knowledge tooling instead of a focused clinic workflow product.

  - [Healthcare Knowledge Management](https://kmslh.com/blog/top-knowledge-software-healthcare) `tavily`
- Some of the visible projects are tiny or unmaintained, so traction is weak and buyer willingness is still not proven.

## What to do this week

*Model estimate*

- Start with one narrow clinic workflow: scheduling, billing, intake, and policy answers for front-desk staff, not full clinical decision support.

  - [Healthcare Knowledge Management](https://kmslh.com/blog/top-knowledge-software-healthcare) `tavily`
- Make source citations and approval workflows core features from day one, because the signals around medical content repeatedly point to safety and compliance concerns.
