Abstract
Background/Objectives: Family physicians are essential to a well-functioning healthcare system; however, they face significant administrative and cognitive burdens that contribute to their burnout and reduce the quality of patient care they provide. Digital health tools offer potential solutions to these problems. This study examined the interface design and features of a digital health platform, Carmi, designed to mitigate administrative inefficiencies and cognitive overload by asynchronous patient data gathering and automated report generation. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with nine family physicians practicing in Alberta, Canada, to gather their feedback on Carmi’s interface design and features. Participants were asked to view a 20 min virtual demonstration of Carmi and provide input on its interface, navigation, potential impact on their clinic workflow, and suggestions for additional features. Interviews were transcribed and thematically analyzed using NVivo. Results: Participants found Carmi’s interface user-friendly; most agreed that Carmi could reduce cognitive burden by automatically generating summary reports of assessments completed by patients and facilitating care coordination. Participants thought integration within existing electronic medical records was important, albeit Care of the Elderly physicians saw the value of Carmi as a standalone platform, noting that it can become a collaborative space where all healthcare providers can contribute to patient care. Conclusions: Carmi has the potential to improve primary care efficiency, especially for older adults with complex health needs. Work is underway at several pilot sites that have implemented Carmi so far to gather physicians, patients, and their caregivers’ feedback on its usability.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
