HealthBot: Multilingual AI Assistant Bridging the Gaps in Health Care

Introduction

HealthBot's goal is to disrupt the diagnostic industry by enabling all of us with a painless, care-free
dry-run-to-goto platform for Symptoms diagnosis and medical records management. We want to
provide patients with accurate health-analytics based on our reports while creating access in
healthcare : especially rural part which is understaffed.

Objectives

1. Symptoms Diagnosis: using advanced machine learning algorithms, HealthBot can provide
accurate diagnosis with symptoms entered by the user. This technique enables our model to
have really high precision and consistency (greater than that of general search engines or AI
tools) by actually training it on what we can all agree are trustworthy real-world data.

2. Complete Medical Record Storage: Users can upload their previous diagnosis reports, which
are scanned and stored in an entirely secured Agreeya database. The data also provides a
historical context and improves reliability in predicting future conditions, allowing us to have
an all around view of how the user is doing!

3. Customize your pre-checks, treatment of verbal: HealthBot performs a number of

preliminary checks and asks for questions about the voice to help users understand what
they are suffering from. This individualized component provides the user with customized
advice and information.

4. Tackling Healthcare Disparities in Rural Areas: Being empathetic towards the rural
communities and their issues, HealthBot has planned to tie up with NGOs as well as
government schemes that further promotes minimal-cost or free doctor consultations (since
this is amongst one of the most essential sectors. Our platform will send you to the nearest
hospitals for further follow ups making sure that essential medical services are best
provided.

Use Case Example

So a user has symptoms like conjunctivitis, fever and maculopapular rash. When these symptoms are
entered into HealthBot, they pull the user's history in which HealthBot finds out that this condition
was diagnosed back then as well. HealthBot offers an initial prognosis and recommendations in
response to the extensive analysis.

Benefits
