Medical Diagnosis through Chatbots

Abstract:

Medical attention is critical to living a healthy life. If you have a health concern, however, it is quite difficult to seek medical help. The idea is to create a medical chatbot that can assess symptoms and provide a list of illnesses the user might have using AI and other biometric parameters. In medical diagnosis, artificial intelligence aids in medical decision making, management, automation, administration, and workflows. It can be used to diagnose cancer, triage critical findings in medical imaging, flag acute abnormalities, assist radiologists in prioritizing life-threatening cases, diagnose cardiac arrhythmias, predict stroke outcomes, and aid in chronic disease management. Medical chatbots were created with the goal of lowering medical costs and increasing access to medical information. Some chatbots act as medical guides, assisting patients in becoming more conscious of their ailment and improving their overall health. Users will undoubtedly profit from chatbots if they can identify a variety of illnesses and provide the necessary information that may help the user to understand the predicament, he/she might be facing. The main idea is to create a preliminary diagnosis chatbot that allows patients to participate in medical research and provide a customized analysis report based on their symptoms
