Network-integrated medical chatbot for enhanced healthcare services
Abstract
Technology has a significant role in improving medical care, such as enhancing communication between patients and healthcare virtual assistants. By including artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP), the main aim of this research paper is to design a medical chatbot framework, and application design prototype, and use the Dialog Flow tool to build an auto-response system known as a chatbot. The goal is to provide medical services and meet patients' needs. It will communicate with the user in the language they follow. With the help of keywords such as symptoms entered by the patients, it will help to identify the disease. Moreover, the application provides the patients with the ability to record their medicine to remind them to take it. Additionally, it will make it easier for patients to learn more about their disease and motivate them to take the necessary precautions to stay healthy.
