# Introduction Disease prediction is vital for timely intervention, effective treatment, and reducing medical complications. However, the adoption of symbolic AI in healthcare remains limited due to the effort required for constructing high-quality knowledge bases. This work introduces McCoy, a framework that combines Large Language Models (LLM) with Answer Set Programming (ASP) to overcome this barrier. McCoy leverages LLMs to translate medical literature into ASP code, combines it with patient data, and processes it using an ASP solver to arrive at the final diagnosis. This integration yields a robust, interpretable prediction framework that leverages the strengths of both paradigms. Preliminary results show McCoy has strong performance on small-scale disease diagnosis tasks.
