Abstract
Artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare with a profound paradigm shift impacting diagnostic techniques, drug discovery, health analytics, interventions and much more. In this paper we focus on exploiting AI-based chatbot systems, mainly based on machine learning algorithms and Natural Language Processing, to understand and respond to needs of patients and their families. In particular, we describe an application scenario for an AI-chatbot delivering support to pregnant women, mothers, and families with young children, by giving them help and instructions in relevant situations.
