During the day: If there is an illness, go see a doctor? What kind of proof is required? Artificial intelligence will work for you to make this decision. So Dinhata’s son Swaroop Dey created a WhatsApp chatbot called ‘Apna Vaid’. We all know more or less about Chat Gpt. This time by using artificial intelligence to create a WhatsApp chatbot called ‘Apna Vaidya’, Harvard University researcher Swaroop Dey and his wife Paushali Dey, a doctor by profession, have taken this new initiative to help the treatment of common people for free. Professor Ashwin Gopinath of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is providing technical support in the entire matter. Son of Dinhata Sahebganj, Swaroop De completed his school level education in Dinhata, later graduated in Chemistry from Belur Ramakrishna Mission and completed Masters from IIT, Bombay and went to America to earn his Ph.D. He is currently doing advanced research at Harvard University on gene therapy.
As a sensitive nature, Belur Ramakrishna noticed the suffering of common people during his studies at the Mission. He also realizes that artificial intelligence can help in dealing with the huge shortage of doctors in India and the ongoing problems facing remote areas. From this thought, the idea of ​​launching a WhatsApp chatbot ‘Apna Vaid’ came to his mind. According to Swarup, nowadays everyone has a mobile phone in their house, as a result, by writing hello or hi to the corresponding number (bot chat number: 8910850274), ‘Apna Vaid’ will ask about your health problems. Again by typing it or sending it via voicemail, he can make a preliminary analysis of the possible cause of the problem and the type of doctor to see. Apart from English, ‘Apna Vaid’ app can understand Bengali, Hindi and Tamil. Also have a handwritten prescription, but can’t figure out exactly what it says? This app will describe the prescription just by taking a picture and uploading it. That’s why you have the medical report of blood test, ECG etc. but you can’t get a doctor’s date? If you send the photo of the medical report, this website can also analyze it. Apart from this, even if you send a picture of any cut, tear, burn etc., it will give you an idea of ​​what needs to be done about it. In short, the facility has been made accessible to common people by adopting a simple approach. This initiative has already been specifically completed. Jayant Chakraborty, science department teacher at Dinhata High School, said, ‘Today many of us suffer from indecision regarding treatment. If so, this technology will be very useful to solve the problem.’
