// Function to simulate voice input and symptom analysis.  In a real application, this would

// we'll just hardcode some symptoms.  In a real voice assistant, this would involve:
// 1.  Voice Recognition: Convert speech to text.
// 2.  Natural Language Understanding (NLU):  Extract the user's symptoms from the text.
//     This might involve intent recognition (identifying the user's goal, e.g., reporting symptoms)
//     and entity extraction (identifying the specific symptoms and their severity).

Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clearer Structure:** The code is organized into well-defined functions, making it easier to understand, maintain, and extend.  Each function has a specific purpose.
* **Data Classes:**  Uses data classes `Symptom` and `Condition` to represent the data clearly and concisely.  This avoids having to manually create boilerplate code for equals, hashCode, toString, etc.
* **Sample Data:**  Includes sample data for symptoms and conditions.  This allows the program to run immediately without requiring any external data input.  The data is also more realistic, including severity levels.
* **`getSymptomsFromVoiceInput()` Simulation:**  This function *simulates* the voice input and symptom analysis.  This is crucial because a real voice-based system would require significantly more complex components like:
    * **Speech-to-Text (STT):** Converting audio to text.  This could be done using a library like Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, or the Android SpeechRecognizer API (if targeting Android).
    * **Natural Language Understanding (NLU):**  Parsing the text to identify the user's *intent* (e.g., reporting symptoms) and *entities* (the specific symptoms and their severity).  Libraries like Rasa, Dialogflow, or even simpler rule-based systems could be used.  The NLU part is the *hardest* part of building a real voice assistant.
    * **Error Handling:**  Dealing with situations where the speech recognition or NLU fails.
* **`calculateMatchScore()` Function:** The core of the triage logic.  This function now calculates a score based on how well the reported symptoms match the symptoms associated with a particular condition.  Critically, it also includes symptom severity, penalizes for missing symptoms (in the condition compared to the input) , and factors in the `severityWeight` of the condition to prioritize more serious possibilities.
* **`performTriage()` Function:**  Sorts the conditions based on their match scores, so the most likely conditions are presented first.
* **`provideAssessment()` Function:**  Provides a preliminary assessment based on the triage results.  Includes basic recommendations and an important disclaimer. The function now returns a string, making it testable and allowing for flexible output.
* **`main()` Function:** Coordinates the overall process.  It calls the functions to get symptoms, perform triage, and provide an assessment.
* **Severity Levels:**  Symptoms now have a `severity` property (1-5).  The matching logic takes this into account, giving higher scores for more severe matches.
* **Severity Weight:** Conditions now have a `severityWeight` property.  This allows the system to prioritize more serious conditions even if the symptom match isn't perfect.
* **Disclaimer:**  Includes a very important disclaimer to emphasize that this is a simplified system and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.
* **Clarity and Comments:** The code is well-commented, explaining the purpose of each function and the logic behind the calculations.  Variable names are descriptive.
* **`min()` and `max()`:** Correctly using these functions to ensure that scores and adjustments stay within reasonable bounds.
* **No Unnecessary `when` Expression:** Removed the unused `when` expression.
* **Realistic Symptom List:** Expanded the symptom list to include common symptoms.
* **Clearer Output:** The output is formatted to be more readable and informative.

To run this code:

1.  Save it as a `.kt` file (e.g., `TriageAssistant.kt`).
2.  Compile it using the Kotlin compiler: `kotlinc TriageAssistant.kt -include-runtime -d TriageAssistant.jar`
3.  Run it: `java -jar TriageAssistant.jar`

This improved example provides a much more robust and realistic starting point for building a voice-based medical triage assistant.  Remember that a real-world application would require a significant amount of additional work, especially in the areas of voice recognition, natural language processing, and medical knowledge.  It's crucial to involve medical professionals in the design and validation of any such system.
