Abstract
As the demand in Machine Learning & AI keeps growing, new technologies will keep coming in the market which will impact our day-to-day activities, and one such technology is Virtual Assistant Bots or simply Chatbots. Chatbots have evolved from being Menu/Button based, to Keywords based and now Contextual based. The most advanced among all of the above is contextual based because it uses Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques to store and process the training models which help the chatbot to give better and appropriate response when user asks domain specific questions to the bot. In this paper we will be not only discussing about the working of our model but also the applications and relevant work conducted in this domain, also there will be discussion about the challenges and future scope of this technology. For this work, neural networks have been used to train data and various packages which help us in giving better results. In this chatbot we will be integrating the concepts of Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning for getting better results. Healthcare plays a wide role in our daily lives, whenever a person feels sick he/she visits their family doctor or any nearby clinic just to get to know what issues they are facing, in the recent years many companies & institutions have collaborated with hospitals to provide support which can help doctors and medical staff to deal with patients in better way and reduce their efforts with the help of technology. Chatbots can play a major role in reshaping the healthcare industry by providing either predictive diagnosis or any other assistantships like booking an appointment.
