Under the Hood

The AI Matching Process

From your first message to a clinic recommendation — here is every step Aria takes, in the order it takes them.

01

You describe your need

In plain language. "I want Botox for frown lines in BGC, I'm nervous about it, and I have a budget of around 15k." No forms, no checkboxes.

02

Aria parses intent

The AI understands treatment type, location preference, budget range, anxiety signals, and implicit priorities like trust and communication style — all from natural language.

03

Match against verified data

Your profile is matched against the CliniC Manila clinic database: real patient reviews, verified doctor credentials, treatment pricing, available technologies, and verified availability signals.

04

Weighted scoring

Clinics are scored on seven weighted dimensions: clinical quality, review sentiment, price alignment, location convenience, technology available, communication style, and availability.

05

Recommendation with reasoning

Aria presents 2–4 matched clinics with specific explanations for each recommendation — not just a list, but a reasoned case for why each clinic fits your specific situation.

06

Follow-up & refinement

You can push back, ask for alternatives, add constraints, or ask follow-up questions. Aria updates recommendations in real time as your requirements become clearer.

What Aria Can Do

Built for the Medical Tourist's Reality

Aria isn't a generic chatbot. Every capability here was built specifically for the questions real patients — expats, tourists, locals — ask when navigating aesthetic clinics in Manila.

Multi-language Understanding

Aria understands Filipino, English, Japanese, Korean, and Tagalog-English code-switching — covering the full expat and local patient landscape.

Anxiety-Aware Responses

Aria detects anxiety signals in language ("I'm nervous", "is it safe", "what if something goes wrong") and adjusts tone, detail level, and recommended clinics accordingly.

Budget Intelligence

Budget parsing handles ranges, floor-only ("under 20k"), and implicit signals ("affordable but good quality"). Aria never recommends clinics outside your stated range without flagging the difference.

Geographic Awareness

Aria knows which areas are walkable from each other (BGC to Salcedo Village ≠ walkable, Greenbelt to Salcedo = 8 minutes). Recommendations are location-intelligent, not just filtered by city.

Treatment Literacy

Aria knows the clinical specifics: which laser is appropriate for dark skin, why Botox strategy changes at 50, what to combine with melasma treatment. Recommendations reflect medical understanding.

Conversation Memory

Within a session, Aria remembers everything you said earlier. If you asked about Botox first and then pivot to fillers, Aria connects your stated goals and updates recommendations coherently.

How We Vet Every Clinic

Clinic Verification Standards

Every clinic on CliniC Manila passes a four-layer review before listing. Here is exactly what we check and how.

Doctor Credential Verification

  • Board certification with Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery (PBPS) or Philippine Dermatological Society (PDS)

  • Fellowship credentials verified where claimed (ASEAN, US, Korea)

  • Medical license status with PRC registration confirmation

  • Training institution and year of specialization documented

Verification timeline: Each new clinic takes 5–10 business days to pass all four layers. Clinics failing any single layer are not listed until the issue is resolved or documented.

Scoring Model

The 7-Dimension Scoring Framework

Every clinic recommendation is scored across these seven dimensions. Weights shift based on what matters most for your specific query.

Verified review scores, recent trend direction, complaint rate, and ratio of unsolicited vs. solicited reviews.

15%
Price Alignment

How closely the clinic's typical pricing matches your stated budget, with adjustment for value signals.

15%
Location Convenience

Distance from your stated area preference, walkability from transit or landmarks, and parking availability.

10%
Treatment Availability

Whether the clinic offers the specific treatments you named, using the technologies most appropriate for your case.

10%
Communication Style

Match between clinic communication approach (formal vs. relaxed, responsive WhatsApp vs. appointment-only) and your indicated preferences.
