Disease Detection is a very important use-case in the Healthcare Industry. There is no existing personalized conversational platform which detects diseases based on patient's physical symptoms and redirects to the nearest hospital based on the user's location.
Apart from this, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted or halted critical mental health services in 93% of countries worldwide while the demand for mental health is increasing, according to a new WHO survey. Thus, Mental Health is also an alarming topic and we want people to talk about it with any hesitation.
We have designed a Chatbot, which will interact with the patients and diagnose the potential disease from which a person can be suffering and also the detects severity level of that disease (eg. Home Care, See a Doctor, or Ambulance).
In the same chatbot one can take a Mental Health Test. The Mental Health Test is built with high standards. It implements the study of PHQ-SADS, PHQ-15 & GAD-7. It helps in diagnosis of Stress, Anxiety, Depression and also looks out for Somatic Symptom Disorder.
Our Solution will also be providing medical assistance like recommending the nearest Hospital based on the real-time location of user detected by GPS using Google Geolocation API and shows it on map using MapmyIndia API. The chatbot will engage users in conversation.
The biggest challenge for us was to implementat the Mental Health Test. With very little domain knowledge, it was harder to implement a sensitive topic. So, we started doing research on the same and implemented PHQ-SADS, PHQ-15 and GAD-7 as per the medical industry standards.
