Should you rely on this paper?

Signal extraction is still processing. This page currently shows metadata-first guidance until structured protocol fields are ready.

This page is a lightweight research summary built from the abstract and metadata while deeper extraction catches up.

Best use

Background context only

Use if you need

A provisional background reference while structured extraction finishes.

What to verify

Read the full paper before copying any benchmark, metric, or protocol choices.

Main weakness

This page is still relying on abstract and metadata signals, not a fuller protocol read.

Abstract

Text-based telemedicine increasingly relies on lightweight patient feedback, however, such feedback primarily reflects perceived communication quality rather than medical accuracy. We introduce an LM-guided counterfactual recommendation pipeline that discovers and refines interpretable communication features such as tone, personalization, actionability and completeness in addressing patient concerns, without interfering with the medical content. These features are used together with patient-doctor interaction metadata to estimate positive feedback. At inference time, the system searches over low-cost ordinal feature changes and recommends minimal communication changes predicted to increase the probability of positive feedback, while independent auditor models test whether these gains generalize beyond the selection model. Across interactions, recommendations yield a mean +6.41% gain in predicted positive feedback probability under independent auditors, and are non-negative for 93.31% of recommendations. These results suggest that small, interpretable communication changes can capture most predicted gains while preserving the doctor's control over medical reasoning and final wording.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
