This project reminds me of Matt Might's work (predating LLMs) on using techniques from Precision Medicine to help his son, who had a rare disease.

If I recall correctly, he used miniKanren along with formalized, structured data extracted from medical research. Unfortunately, his son has since passed away.

This is an incredible story, heart goes out to him. He has done some amazing work from this information.

There's nothing that is not actionable, you can always do science.
