Abstract

This proposal outlines the development of a Health-Care Chabot leveraging AI and machine learning techniques, integrated with APIs using Flask. The project aims to enhance patient engagement, provide preliminary medical advice, and facilitate appointment scheduling, thereby reducing the workload on healthcare professionals. By employing natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms, the Chabot will offer personalized and context-aware responses to users. The integration with Flask API will ensure seamless interaction between the Chabot and various healthcare services.

Introduction

Healthcare systems globally face increasing demands due to growing populations and the prevalence of chronic diseases. This strain often results in long wait times, limited access to medical professionals, and patient dissatisfaction. The integration of AI and machine learning in healthcare offers innovative solutions to these challenges. This project proposes the development of an AI-based Health-Care Chabot that utilizes machine learning techniques to understand and respond to patient queries, providing an efficient and accessible means of healthcare support.

Problem Statement

The current healthcare system struggles with inefficiencies, particularly in patient engagement and preliminary medical advice. Patients often experience delays in receiving medical attention, leading to exacerbated health issues and increased stress on healthcare resources. There is a need for an intelligent system that can provide immediate, accurate, and personalized responses to common health-related inquiries.
