Research division of ISODS

The George Washington Institute

The applied AI research division of ISODS, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

About GWI

The George Washington Institute (GWI) is the official research division of ISODS. It runs global applied AI projects and leads the Society’s annual student research and development cohorts.

The institute builds domain-specific AI platforms rather than prototypes: retrieval workflows, multi-agent frameworks and vector database systems that are deployed inside the institutions and firms that need them.

Applied AI & data science R&D

Each domain pairs a curated knowledge base with a retrieval workflow and an agent layer, so the result is a deployed platform rather than a demo.

All research

AI for Healthcare

Clinical question answering and diagnosis support that still works where bandwidth, hardware and language resources are scarce.

  • DoctorAI Framework
