Oludayo Ojerinde, a Nigerian artificial intelligence specialist, has launched a health-focused chatbot aimed at changing healthcare accessibility and solving healthcare issues in Nigeria. The Chatbot, which was introduced in Lagos over the weekend, aims to address issues in the healthcare sector such as long hospital wait times and the need for more information on various conditions.
According to Ojerinde, the AI tool is intended to supplement traditional healthcare services by providing second viewpoints on health information. Highlighting the flaws in the country’s health-care system, Ojerinde emphasized the burden on citizens, who frequently pay out-of-pocket for their health-care needs and face long delays at hospitals.
The ‘You and Your Health’ Chatbot tries to address these difficulties by engaging users in individualized chats about their health concerns, leveraging advanced natural language processing to provide a personalized experience. The AI expert said that the chatbot consultation service is completely free, distinguishing it from the industry’s subscription-based approaches.
He underlined the platform’s inclusivity, inviting users to bring any health-related problems for a human-like interaction and solution. The chatbot is reported to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, giving consumers unprecedented access to assistance and information at any time.
This effort strives to remove obstacles to health-related support, so that people may get help whenever they need it. Furthermore, the chatbot’s seamless interaction with health data was emphasized, allowing users to track and manage their health information within the discussion.
