I wish to share with you my experience this last week of class. The
required readings are too many but worth every bit of time spent on
them. Chatbot implementation caught my attention more than any
other thing this semester. Building a new thing is interesting. I used the
IBM Watson assistant to build a chatbot – Mr. Bot Diabetes.
The rate at which people are being diagnosed with diabetes is on the
increase. It is beginning to give concern many. There must be
something with the food and/or lifestyle that keep making both the
old and young to be diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes does not
develop overnight. It comes with age. This is just an accumulation of
excess sugar. Too much sugar in the bloodstream over a period results
in diabetes. People, in their nature, do not worry about sugar levels
until diagnosed with diabetes. But by then it is already late.
So, I suggest that people monitor their blood sugar levels when they
have not been diagnosed will better manage their sugar levels. Mr. Bot
Diabetes is an expert on blood sugar. The user will chat with the
assistant to understand the implications and dangers of high blood
sugar.
After welcoming its user with a greeting and introduction, Mr. Bot will
ask the user to enter his name. Having received its user’s name, Mr.
Bot will address the user by name. Moving forward, Mr. Bot will advise
his user based on the blood sugar level or the symptoms the user
mentioned.
