Model Description

This is a LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) adapter trained on top of Google's MedGemma-27B-text-it model for autonomous surgical triage in the inpatient setting (post-operative days 0-5). The model performs three-way classification of surgical patients into:

operate_now: Surgical emergency requiring immediate intervention
watch_wait: Stable but requires close monitoring
avoid: Conservative management appropriate

The model integrates clinical data (vitals, labs, imaging findings, trajectories) to detect life-threatening complications including sepsis, anastomotic leak, peritonitis, and hemorrhage.

Developed by: Aayush (SurgicalCopilot Project)
Model type: Causal Language Model with LoRA adapter
Language: English (Medical terminology)

Usage

Installation

pip install transformers peft torch

Basic Inference

python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from peft import PeftModel
import torch

# Load base model
base_model = "google/medgemma-27b-text-it"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    base_model,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(base_model)

# Load adapter
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(
    model, 
    "bobby07007/surgicalcopilot-phase1b-27b"
)

# System prompt
system_prompt = (
    'You are a surgical triage AI. Output ONLY a single raw JSON object — '
    'no markdown, no code fences, no explanation. '
    'The JSON must contain the key "label_class" with value '
    '"operate_now", "watch_wait", or "avoid".'
)

# Example case
case_text = """
62M POD1 laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Vitals: HR 115, BP 90/60, Temp 38.9°C, RR 22, SpO2 94%
Labs: WBC 18k, Lactate 3.2, Cr 1.4
Exam: Abdominal distension++, guarding, absent bowel sounds
Imaging: CT shows free fluid and pneumoperitoneum
"""

# Build chat
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": system_prompt},
    {"role": "user", "content": case_text}
]

prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages, 
    tokenize=False, 
    add_generation_prompt=True
)

# Generate
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs, 
    max_new_tokens=512, 
    do_sample=False,
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id
)

# Decode
response = tokenizer.decode(
    outputs[0][inputs['input_ids'].shape[1]:], 
    skip_special_tokens=True
)
print(response)

Expected Output

json

{
  "label_class": "operate_now",
  "trajectory": "deteriorating",
  "red_flag_triggered": true,
  "red_flags": ["peritonitis", "sepsis_suspected", "source_control"],
  "peritonitis": true,
  "imaging_free_fluid": true,
  "hb_drop": false,
  "source_control": true,
  "ed": false
}

Limitations

Technical Limitations

Synthetic Training Data: Model trained on synthetic cases, not real patient data
Single Institution Patterns: May not generalize to different hospital workflows
English Only: Limited to English medical terminology
Context Length: Limited to 1024 tokens input (longer cases truncated)
No Multimodal: Text-only, doesn't process images directly

Clinical Limitations

Not a Replacement for Clinicians: Requires physician supervision
Edge Cases: May struggle with rare complications or atypical presentations
No Real-Time Vitals: Requires manual data entry
Label Imbalance: Better at detecting emergencies (operate_now) than subtle deterioration

Ethical Considerations

Bias: May reflect biases in synthetic data generation
Over-Reliance: Risk of automation bias if used without oversight
False Positives: May over-triage stable patients as high-risk
False Negatives: May miss subtle deterioration (though very rare in validation)

Bias & Fairness

Known Biases

Age Bias: Training data skewed toward adult patients (18-90 years)
Procedure Bias: Primarily trained on general surgery cases
Complication Bias: Over-represents common complications (sepsis, leak)

Mitigation Strategies

Human-in-the-loop review for all high-risk predictions
Regular performance monitoring across patient demographics
Mandatory physician override capability

Safety & Responsible Use

Safety Guardrails

✅ Rule Sentinel: Deterministic rules override AI for critical conditions
✅ HITL (Human-in-the-Loop): Mandatory physician review for RED risk
✅ Audit Logging: All decisions tracked for review
✅ Explainability: Provides red flags and evidence for decisions

Recommended Deployment

Pilot Testing: Shadow mode with physician validation
Performance Monitoring: Track accuracy, false positives/negatives
Feedback Loop: Collect clinician feedback on predictions
Regular Retraining: Update model with real-world data (with IRB approval)
