Introduction

The purpose of covid19.dialogue.co is to deliver accurate personalized information from trusted Canadian medical sources regarding COVID-19.

This service personalizes information about the virus based on the user's individual situation. To do so, the service includes a chatbot system (Chloé) to collect the needed information form the user and determine which content is relevant to their situation.

All content is sourced from publicly available information and is vetted by Canadian medical professionals.

The project is created by Dialogue. Dialogue is the leading Canadian telemedicine provider pioneering virtual healthcare dedicated exclusively to the world's leading organizations. We drive real health outcomes through amazing healthcare experiences, an employee engagement playbook, and a relentless focus on patient safety and security.
