Brief Summary
|
A chatbot is a computer program that simulates human conversation via text or voice message, especially over the Internet. The majority of existing software is designed to make the process of repertorisation easier and the physician has to do analysis, evaluation, and insertion of rubric by himself. At times there is a need of meeting the demand of a large number of patients &quickly attending to each individual leads to an increased risk of losing crucial information during case taking. The proposed chatbot repertory is designed in such a way that it will collect each symptom in detail to avoid losing crucial information and simultaneous analytical repertorisation saves the time of the physician. It also allows a patient to get a consultation at the comfort of their home. So it will be a time saver for both physician and patient and hence more feasible than computer repertory. |
