Wilson

Wilson is a chatbot that can diagnose you based on your symptoms and give you information on illnesses.

Wilson uses Dialogflow for natural language processing (NLP), Symptoma for the diagnosis and the WHOs International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and Wikipedia as sources. It is written in JavaScript and can be run online in Repl, locally with Node.js or in a Docker container. Wilson also has Discord integration.

This project was made for the 2020 #4GoodAI hackathon.

If you have any questions, problems or suggestions write us an email or open a GitHub issue.

Details

Details on how the bot works.

General working principle

The diagram below demonstrates how the bot processes input and how it obtains relevant data.

Frontends

The bot itself is a separate module, which can have multiple frontends.
The command line interface for example is a frontend for the bot (see run on how to start it), but frontends can be built for any platform.
An example also provided in the repo is a Discord integration, which allows the bot to run as an Discord bot. It can be run with npm run dc (after putting a valid Discord token in ./dc/token.txt, see more information here).

Languages and technologies

The bot itself is written completely in JavaScript, plus some configuration in Dialogflow. We used these technologies to create the bot (click on an icon for more info):

Roadmap

• Add further dialogues to Dialogflow
• Create integrations for other platforms apart from Discord
• Add further sources for researching info on illnesses
• Create support for other languages than English

Disclaimer

The bot does not replace an actual diagnosis by a certified medical professional, and replies and diagnoses may be inaccurate.
Do NOT rely on the data provided by the bot for real world use, this is a work in progress, proof-of-concept project.
