Project Overview
HouseVizit works as a comprehensive platform that allows patients to effortlessly find and book appointments with doctors who match their specific requirements. Thousands of patients use this app to set up online telemedicine appointments, streamline the process for both patients and healthcare providers. Patients have to fill a pre-consultation form that consists of a series of questions regarding their symptoms and medical history. By having access to this detailed information ahead of the appointment, doctors can save valuable time during the consultation and focus on delivering personalized and efficient care.
Key Challenges
Limited Coverage of Diseases
The current app supports only a predefined set of diseases, as each condition requires a specific questionnaire. If a patient's condition is not listed in the app's database, this limitation prevents them from getting the right medical advice.
Static Symptom Questionnaire
The symptom collection process relies on a static, predefined questionnaire, which limits the app's ability to collect complete and nuanced patient information, potentially leaving out important aspects.
Inefficient Use of Consultation Time
Without thorough pre-consultation information, doctors have to spend a significant time during the appointment collecting basic information which reduces the time available for efficient diagnosis and treatment.
Reduced Patient Flow and Care Quality
The process of collecting information during appointments can reduce the number of patients and hamper care quality. This can impact timely and accurate care delivery.
Our Solution
Our team has developed an advanced AI chatbot powered by Generative AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to overcome the challenges. This innovative chatbot offers several key features to enhance the user experience and improve the efficiency of telemedicine consultations.
Our AI chatbot engages patients with conversational AI techniques to understand their responses through NLP. It automatically modifies the questions according to the patient’s specific symptoms and medical history, ensuring a comprehensive and customized pre-consultation process. This leads to a better and more accurate information-sharing process.
The AI chatbot chats with patients and summarizes their answers for doctors, saving time during appointments. We have incorporated Azure health bot in our AI chatbot to understand a wide range of health issues. It not only identifies the patient’s condition but also suggests the most appropriate type of doctor for their needs. This ensures that patients are directed to the right specialists, improving the overall quality of care.
