CHATBOT AS A HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR:

Repeating the same words and actions over and over again is neither productive not really necessary. This kind of job can be easily performed by a chatbot, who can collect user requests, schedule doctor visits, and answer simple questions. Your patients will say “thank you” for the opportunity to get their requests proceeds without any extra effort. They will not have to go to a hospital or even to make a call to solve a simple problem. They will just open a mobile or web app and message their questions. Chatbots can be used to remind patients about an upcoming appointment or a regular check, to collect feedback, to check up on their health condition, or to advertise a healthcare business. Meanwhile, your healthcare personnel can spend time actually caring about patients instead of going through an unnecessary routine.
CHATBOTS IN CONSULTANTS:
Being worried about your health is neutral. Every day, people have many questions, both major and minor, concerning their health condition. It will be particularly useful if there was a healthcare consultant in their pocket who will provide all the answers. No, Google is not working. There are so many websites and questionable credibility that you better not trust them with your health issues. Develop a healthcare chatbot instead. It will be particularly topical for people living with chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, or HIV/AIDS.
FAITHFUL ASSISTANT IN THE POCKET:
Chatbots integrated with relevant mobile apps help the sick yet busy and on-the-go patient to schedule appointments, issue reminders, and manage test results, information on dietary choices and even initiate a medication refill. In the role of virtual nurse, these chatbots are train using customize questions and their answers regularly handled by physicians. The chatbots are thus enabled to act according to personalized care plans accessible to them and even process patient inputs-for example, symptoms using voice recognition technology and analyze the seriousness of the issue and steps to be taken. Overall, the bot can very well play the role of a lifestyle coach.
CHATBOTS AS A SELF-CARE COACH:
Disciplining oneself is hard, but there is hope. Chatbots can be used to count calories, monitor the amount of water you have consumed, keep records of exercising or sleeping routine. They can suggest different healthy food recipes, remind of the need to take pills, or advise to see a doctor. Finally chatbots can send inspirational and motivational quotes to boost ones mood and self esteem. A chatbot will not substitute medical care but it can easily become a personal holistic self care coach.
CHATBOTS IN RESEARCH AND TREATMENT:
While doctors are hard pressed for time to indulge in the latest studies and findings in their specialization areas, the AI enabled bot team can comb through extensive data-every new piece of research, for example, experimental solutions available pertaining to cancer, and provide the healthcare providers as well as the patient is more personalized recommendations. Experts believe that through extensive data analysis machines will soon predict diseases better than humans. As machine learning becomes more advance, capable of image recognition, sentiment analysis, etc. the relevance of extracted data will increase and can even be automatically provided on outreach and support tools. Thus more personalized treatment is possible
CHATBOT AS AN ELDERLY CARE PROVIDER:
It might be hard to imagine an old lady messaging a chatbot. And there is no need to. Your elderly patient can talk to a voice personal health assistant and get all the answers or request processed. Voice app development is barely from the development of a regular chatbot.
The procedure is almost the same and the challenge is quite similar. This is how you can target an additional segment of patient without outing too much of extra efforts. Your application can come in handy not only for the elderly patients but also for people with visual or mobility impairments.
CHATBOT AS DISPENSERS OF DRUG INFO:
There are more than a few chatbot service out there which are expert disseminators of up-to-date drug related info-drug interactions and active ingredients, indications and contra indications as well as alternative medicines, etc which are ideal resource for both professional clinicians and the patients/care takers. For example, a skin specialist may need appropriate data about the active ingredient in certain tropical drug before he can prescribe them to a breastfeeding patient.
CHATBOT AS A RED PANIC BUTTON:
Irregular breathing, breathlessness, or a dangerous heart rate can be symptoms of life threatening health conditions. Incorporate your chatbot application with a smart watch or a fitness tracker, which can monitor breathing and heart rate. If there are any signs of danger, alert your user with a chatbot message. If they do not answer, let their emergency contacts know. This is how you can turn your app into a red-panic button, which may warn your user about a dangerous symptom or call for emergency help.
CONCLUSION:
It is being proved that in the unusual case of chatbots, we have a technology where we are not forced to choose between cost and efficacy; the chatbots replacing humans for certain functions definitely makes the process more effective while saving money for both in the short and long terms. A win-win situation which can only get better as the bots become more and more “learned” in their tasks.
It can also become a life-saver for patients with diabetes, HIV/AIDS, or cancer, a self-care coach, a doctor’s assistant, or an elderly care provider. What will your chatbot become depends solely on you and your software development team.
