- Abstract: In this paper we present the first system in Spanish capable of answering
questions about medicines for human use, called MeQA (Medicines Question
Answering), a project created by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health
Products (AEMPS, for its acronym in Spanish). Online services that offer
medical help have proliferated considerably, mainly due to the current pandemic
situation due to COVID-19. For example, websites such as Doctoralia, Savia, or
SaludOnNet, offer Doctor Answers type consultations, in which patients or users
can send questions to doctors and specialists, and receive an answer in less
than 24 hours. Many of the questions received are related to medicines for
human use, and most can be answered through the leaflets. Therefore, a system
such as MeQA capable of answering these types of questions automatically could
alleviate the burden on these websites, and it would be of great use to such
patients.

Consultation Concern Summary Generation [46.42604861624895]
We propose a new task of multi-modal medical concern summary generation.
Nonverbal cues, such as patients' gestures and facial expressions, aid in accurately identifying patients' concerns.
We construct the first multi-modal medical concern summary generation corpus.

We introduce a medical question understanding and answering system with knowledge grounding and semantic self-supervision.
Our system is a pipeline that first summarizes a long, medical, user-written question, using a supervised summarization loss.
The system first matches the summarized user question with an FAQ from a trusted medical knowledge base, and then retrieves a fixed number of relevant sentences from the corresponding answer document.

We address the problem of how the Question Answering (QA) quality of a given system can be improved.
Our main contribution is an approach capable of identifying wrong answers provided by a QA system.
In particular, our approach has shown its potential while removing in many cases the majority of incorrect answers.
