Why would I trust AI to accurately read my medical exams? Actually, why would I even send you my medical exams at all? There's no info about who runs it, no company name, no individual, nothing other than a twitter account and an email.

It's not intended to replace a doctor, though some may take the fact that it exceeds the passing score on USMLE as enough competence, depending on their needs.

As with all bootstrapped projects that just started, there's no building, no known name, just a new honest project that works but has no way of proving it. Much like why you'd give hotmail all your private data back in the day just because it's there and you need it, despite (in my case at least) knowing absolutely nothing about what or who was behind it.

Would it help if I add a FAQ and or an About Us explaining a bit more? All the system does is extract the data from the file, use it to produce the report, and send the report. There's no further processing of any kind.

How might a new project like this get the credibility or be seen as credible enough for people to start using it and derive value from it with confidence? Very interested in your thoughts / advice.

I thought about linking to a third-party document anonymizing tool so that you can completely remove all references to you or your name or identity before uploading the results. Would that help?
