Most physician search systems require patients to know exactly what they’re looking for, either in terms of the appropriate specialty for a given condition or the medical terminology to describe the condition. At Zocdoc, we have built a patient friendly search system to power our core doctor discovery and booking platform using various products from the AWS stack and custom Machine Learning pipelines. This talk will focus on the anatomy of our Patient Powered Search and will cover both the architecture and algorithms that enable us to go from “ear ache” to “otolaryngologist.”
