Enhancing Dynamic Personalization in Dietitian Agents with RAG and Medical Dialogue Fine-Tuning

We present an AI dietitian chatbot that generates factually accurate and empathetic responses. The system employs an agentic AI architecture and incorporates a nutrition database and two Large Language Models (LLMs), one of which is fine-tuned with natural doctor-patient conversations. A preliminary evaluation is performed using an LLM-as-a-judge approach, where the system’s responses are evaluated against a baseline model with regard to factual consistency and empathy. Preliminary results show much improved retrieval consistency and empathy in our responses compared to the baseline model.

Abstract

We present an AI dietitian chatbot that generates factually accurate and empathetic responses. The system employs an agentic AI architecture and incorporates a nutrition database and two Large Language Models (LLMs), one of which is fine-tuned with natural doctor-patient conversations. A preliminary evaluation is performed using an LLM-as-a-judge approach, where the system’s responses are evaluated against a baseline model with regard to factual consistency and empathy. Preliminary results show much improved retrieval consistency and empathy in our responses compared to the baseline model.
