Abstract: In this fast-moving world, people are ignorant about their health issues and avoid routine check-ups. It is very difficult for users to spend longer time on-line and explore health information. To solve the problem, voice-based application is provided to the user where user can interact with system and get inference of diseases and their remedies by giving the symptoms as input.For processing the given input, the data is normalized by using noun phrase extraction and medical term identifier. For getting more precise result, the system generates relevant questions to the user and accordingly provide remedy for problem. Question is generated by mapping the user input array with question generation matrix. The project is based on a digital medical aid through a smart bot using machine learning and optical character recognition techniques. The user can just talk to the bot and get to know what the possible causes and effects of the particular symptoms are, determine the illness and take appropriate actions. Basically, the purpose of this bot is to act as a friendly healthcare assistant that helps in all the work that people need to take care of their health.
