Inspiration

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could have a Doctor in your pocket?

What it does

DoctorBot is a chatbot who listens to your symptoms, asks follow up questions, and attempts to diagnose the problem. DoctorBot can also guide you to your nearest hospital.

How we built it

Backend: Python + Flask hosted on Heroku
Frontend: Facebook Messenger Chatbot
Medical Information: Infermedica API
Hospital/Clinic location Information: Foursquare venue API
Hospictal/Clinic location Sharing: Google Static Maps API
NLP stuff: API.ai (didn't quite work as planned :P )

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out how a bot works, trying to connect Kenzen Hardware (add patient vitals) to the bot. Preparing a good user experience.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We actually made it work! (Well, more or less)

What's next for SlideBack

Using location data to detect common trends in an area (e.g. alot of people in Manhattan have the flu)
Inproving the NLP part (We had to hack it to prepare it for submission at HackZurich)
