After all the excitement about bots at Microsoft Build 2016. Facebook at F8 has declared its own ‘chatbots’ that allows its users to complete their simple tasks by communicating with machine controlled programs. While there are innumerable bots available online, an online doctor consultation platform from India has taken things to the next level with the aim of simplifying things for its users.
Lybrate which is an online doctor consultation service from India, is installed with the aim of letting its users contact and communicate with over 1,00,000 doctors that are available on its platform with the help of its app. Many thanks to Facebook’s chatbot system that has enabled Lybrate to successfully launch its own chatbot service which lets its users seek information and enhance their knowledge on health queries and other health related matters.
Users who are interested in obtaining information related to health can interact through the chatbot by adding the bot for free on to their Facebook Messenger chat list. Once this is accomplished the users can chat and communicate with the bot with a free mind, like they usually do with any other friend who is on their contact list. The bot is designed not only to help people to keep themselves updated on different health related issues but also to give them valuable advice and keep themselves updated on health related issues.
In order to enhance the knowledge of its users Lybrate has also organized a ‘Health Quiz’ that provides information to its users and makes them aware about different health issues that are often faced, especially symptoms of those which are often ignored by common man. Also they claim that the information obtained by all its users will never be disclosed causing any kind of embarrassment to its user and complete secrecy will be maintained.
