How enterprise-grade data management creates better and more efficient care. In the last few years, the acceptance of telehealth has become more widespread as patients and providers found they could maintain continuity through phone and video collaboration, instead of in-person visits. In many cases, a level of care that once required a drive to the clinic or hospital could be delivered over a mobile phone or laptop, with no travel and no waiting room.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

No, not this RAG. Despite their many capabilities, Large Language Models (LLMs) have a serious limitation: they’re stuck in time and their knowledge is limited to the data they have been trained on. Updating the knowledge of an LLM can take two forms: fine-tuning, which we will address in a future post, and the ever-present RAG. RAG, short for Retrieval Augmented Generation, has garnered a lot of attention in the GenAI community and for good reasons.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
