AI-Powered Expert Collaboration System for Complex Decision Making

digitalTestedTRL 5

Imagine having a team of top experts and a super-intelligent library that can read every medical or climate paper ever written. This system helps them work together to solve tricky problems where there isn't one single right answer. It combines human intuition with AI's ability to scan massive amounts of data to find the best possible solution.

The business problem

What needed solving

Professionals in high-stakes fields often struggle with 'open-ended' problems where no single correct answer exists and the available evidence is scattered across vast amounts of literature.

The solution

What was built

A decision support system (HACID-DSS) that uses Domain Knowledge Graphs to aggregate human expert advice and AI-generated suggestions into a single, traceable solution.

Who can put this to work

Healthcare
any
Target: Diagnostic Clinics

If you are a diagnostic clinic dealing with rare diseases and complex symptoms — this project developed a decision support system that aggregates expert opinions and AI data to identify the most likely condition. This improves accuracy in cases where a single doctor might miss a rare connection.

Environmental Consulting
SME
Target: Urban Planning Firms

If you are an urban planning firm dealing with climate change adaptation for cities — this project developed a tool that matches specific service requests with the latest climate science and socio-economic data. It helps planners make evidence-based decisions for city infrastructure.

Knowledge Management
mid-size
Target: Specialized Professional Services

If you are a professional services firm dealing with high-stakes, open-ended problems — this project developed a hybrid intelligence system that turns scientific literature into a searchable knowledge graph. This allows your team to reach a collective solution faster and with better traceability.
