Introduction

This repository contains code for a symptom checker chatbot. The chatbot can engage in conversations with users, gather information about their symptoms, and provide information about potential conditions or nearby medical centers. It uses a pre-trained RNN model for natural language understanding.

Getting Started

To get started with the Symptom Checker Chatbot, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/symptom-checker-chatbot.git
   

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Download the necessary data files and place them in the appropriate directories:

   • intents.json: Contains predefined intents for the chatbot.
   • data_rnn.pth: Pre-trained RNN model for natural language understanding.
   • medical_centers.json: Data file containing information about medical centers.

Usage

To use the Symptom Checker Chatbot, run the app.py file:

python app.py

This will start a Flask web application that you can interact with. Visit the URL http://localhost:5000 in your web browser to access the chat interface.

Training

If you want to retrain the RNN model or modify the chatbot's behavior, follow these steps:

1. Modify the intents and patterns in intents.json to customize the chatbot's responses.

2. Run the training script to retrain the RNN model:

   python train.py
   

3. Save the trained model with a new filename and update the FILE variable in chat.py with the new filename.

Dependencies

The Symptom Checker Chatbot relies on the following dependencies:

• Python 3.x
• PyTorch
• Flask
• NLTK
• geocoder

You can install these dependencies using the provided requirements.txt file.
