Vaccine Chatbot for Improving Influenza Vaccination Uptake

The AI-enabled influenza vaccine chatbot can be accessed online through WeChat or any web browsers. The foundation of this chatbot is an expansive knowledge database, constructed with information sourced exclusively from healthcare authorities such as China CDCs and Health Departments, and thoroughly verified by public health experts. This database integrates data on the disease's burden, susceptibility, and severity, along with in-depth details about the vaccines, including their importance, efficacy, safety, and recommended demographics and timing for vaccination. It also covers types and costs of vaccines, societal norms such as vaccination guidelines, expert recommendations, and vaccination trends both in China and internationally. It also includes misinformation and fact-checking contents and provides information about vaccination services such as locations and appointment scheduling.
