Abstract

AI bots have emerged in various industries hoping to simplify customer communication. However, there are a certain set of challenges for such a product in the healthcare domain, including confidentiality and domain knowledge. We discuss the implementation of a secure, multi-task healthcare chatbot built to provide easy, fast, on-demand conversational access to a variety of health-related resources.
