Abstract
In recent years we are working on developing several AI-based assistants to help improve the physical and mental health issues of common people of the society. In order to support telemedicine facilities, we have developed some virtual doctors which can conduct symptom investigations and can replace junior doctors in a hospital. In general, in a hospital, when patients report, firstly a junior doctor used to conduct a symptom investigation by asking some relevant questions, and finally, a senior doctor takes the decision about the illness based on the symptoms investigated. We have developed a virtual doctor with the support of AL, ML, and NLP techniques which can conduct symptom investigation. This conversational agent is capable of detecting symptoms either from textual responses of the patients or the images shown by the patient. I will discuss about the research challenges faced during this virtual doctor development in the first part of my talk. Second part of my talk will discuss the research challenges faced for the development of a motivational chat-bot which will act as the first point of contact for patients suffering from mental distress. This conversational agent generates emphatetic and motivational utterances to help in boosting the morale of the patients who are suffering from some mental disorders.About this Lecture
