Problem Statement

How can natural language processing and chatbots provide online medical consultation and diagnosis based on user's medical history and symptoms?

Demo

Project Demo

Motivation

The healthcare industry has seen a massive shift towards providing online medical consultations and diagnosis in recent years. With the increasing number of patients seeking medical attention online, there is a need for a robust and efficient system that can provide accurate diagnoses based on a patient's medical history and symptoms.

The primary challenge in implementing such a system lies in the vast amount of unstructured data that needs to be processed, such as patient medical records, lab reports, etc. To overcome this challenge, we propose the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Chatbots.

Solution

Our proposed system uses a combination of NLP and Chatbots to provide online medical consultation and diagnosis based on a user's symptoms.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the proposed system provides an efficient and accurate method for providing online medical consultations and diagnosis based on a user's symptoms. The use of NLP techniques and chatbots provides an interactive and intuitive interface for users and faster processing times for diagnoses.
