Overview

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has sparked a health crisis that in turn has unleashed an unprecedented deployment of resources. The scientific and technology communities have put their full weight behind finding solutions that help mitigate the impact of the pandemic as it expands worldwide. CoDev-20 is an organization of students from MAPUA University. The developers created an Artifially Intelligent healthcare chatbot entitled CoDev-20 Chatbot that is designed to answer inquiries and questions from the user regarding the pandemic Corona Virus. The developers aim to provide reliable information and facts about the Corona Virus to lessen the falsification of information regarding the virus through an interactive chatbot that responds to the user’s queries. Individuals who suspect they might have the virus can conduct a physical self-assessment based on their symptoms while communicating with the bot, and depending on the result, they will receive instructions and advice about steps to take for treatment. This initiative aims to reduce call congestion for the regional coronavirus hotline and giving people an access to information that can help them during this crisis.

Objectives

To create a chatbot that responds to the queries of users about the Corona Virus.
To provide a correct information regarding the virus
To lessen the misconception about corona virus and avoid confusion to the people
To fight corona virus with the aid of technology by providing people necessary information

Scope and Limitations

The scope and limitation of the CoDev-20 Chatbot is that the bot is trained to answer queries limited to the topic regarding Corona Virus. The data gathered is based only in the Philippines in terms of total cases, recoveries, and deaths. It will not entertain other issues unrelated to Corona Virus.
