New Brazilian health guidance tool uses rules engine, not AI, to direct patients.
A developer has created Movimenta Saúde, a public health guidance project for Brazil. The system helps citizens determine whether their condition requires a primary care clinic (UBS), an emergency care unit (UPA), or an emergency call (192), then shows the nearest public facility. It uses a large language model only to structure a user's free-text symptoms, while a deterministic rules engine, citing official health protocols, makes the clinical destination decision. The project is currently a pilot running with data from five municipalities in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area.
