Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] In view of the low satisfaction of online doctor recommendation, this paper explores how to combine information technology and user cognition to improve the effect of the doctor recommendation system, which helps to optimize the user experience of online “Ask the Doctor” platform. [Method/Process] First, we established a doctor recommender prototype system based on the relevance theory and the NLP method based on the information of 1500 doctors and more than 780 thousands user questions; Then, did a qualitative study to analyze user’s thoughts in the process of using the recommender based on the sense-making; Finally, we optimized the recommender though considering the users’ perspectives. [Result/Conclusion] Word2Vec model has the best effect in the doctor recommendation task, which was up to 88% doctors in TOP10 doctor candidates are able to answer user questions. The user experiment results show that most users attach great importance to the doctor’s department and areas of expertise while similar questions answered by doctors. When judging the similarity of questions, users mainly pay attention to the medical terms, and avoid the irrelevant medical keywords. Based on these, two model optimizations were identified, including (1) a function of predicting departments was incorporated into the system, and doctors belonging to these departments were ranked forward, (2) a healthcare wordlist was built and higher weights were given to these words when calculating text similarity. Results show that these two methods improved the accuracy of the doctor recommender system, which indicates that the integration of the AI-related algorithms and the user’s thoughts can be well implemented.
