Abstract
GutGuard is an intelligent web-based system designed to assist individuals
with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) by providing them with personalized health
guidance through the use of artificial intelligence. The core idea behind the project is
to offer patients a reliable, easy-to-use digital assistant that helps them understand
their medical reports, plan meals based on their condition, and monitor their
symptoms over time. The system was developed using a layered architecture that
integrates frontend interfaces, backend processing, medical document analysis, and
AI-driven interaction.
The chatbot is powered by the Mistral-7B [13] language model, which is
hosted locally through the Ollama [13] framework. Users can upload their medical
reports in PDF format, and the system processes these documents using Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) to extract the text content. It then applies Medical
Entity Recognition (MER) to identify important biomarkers, such as CBC results and
metabolic indicators. The extracted information is cleaned, validated, and structured
in a way that allows the language model to understand the context and generate
relevant, medically informed responses
