SHORT ABSTRACT OF THE WALK

Chatbots have the potential to address large audiences efficiently and have demonstrated benefits in many areas of the health field: mental disorders (depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, substance abuse), sexual (HIV/AIDS), nutritional and metabolic (obesity, allergies, diabetes), and physical and mental well-being.

Chatbots take advantage of resources provided by our mobile phones. They can use their sensors to collect the mood, location and biometric data of users to feed them artificial intelligence algorithms. GPS and accelerometer data can serve as indicators of physical activity, facial recognition can help recognize the user’s mood or, in conjunction with a heart rate monitor, provide advice to patients with heart conditions. Chatbots learn from the data collected to generate natural, interesting and personalized conversations.

In this communication, we will see how chatbots are used in the health area, along with real experience, based on a chatbot to help measure blood pressure.
