Everybody is often busy and fully scheduled. Nobody likes to wait before a doctor can make a diagnosis. Thanks to the technological possibilities this process can be made easier.
Dr. Leonard Hofstra and Dr. Folkert Asselbergs, head researcher Dr. Pim van der Harst have found a way to develop an interactive chatbot for enabling early identification of cardiovascular diseases.
This will save you time and can easily be activated when you are waiting for your next meeting or are currently traveling to your next destination.
The chatbot is able to recognize symptoms of cardiovascular disease using interactive methods in order to refer a user to a specialist at an early stage.
The algorithm supporting the chatbot will formulate appropriate questions based on the answers of a user. According to these answers, the chatbot will be able to determine whether the user has symptoms corresponding to an early or late stage of cardiovascular disease.
When necessary, the chatbot will recommend the user to consult a doctor. The chatbot is 24/7 available on the internet by text messages (SMS) and WhatsApp.
Daphne Koolen and eight students from the TU Delft will cycle 3000 km to Sofia, Bulgaria, to raise money for the development of a chatbot. The target has been set at €30.000, with this amount the Heart to Handle foundation is able to fund the realization of this research which includes the development and distribution of the chatbot.
You can help this cause by donating any amount you seem fit from € 1, €10, € 20 or any other amount. Your contribution matters. Make sure to spread the word after you donate by using the hashtag #Ipledged in your message.
