Medical Chatbot with AI

Project Overview

This project aims to develop a high-precision medical chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The chatbot is designed to provide medical consultation and guidance based on user inputs. By leveraging advanced AI models, we aim to create a system that can simulate interactions with a medical professional and provide accurate responses to medical-related queries.

Key Features

• AI-powered Medical Consultation: The chatbot uses state-of-the-art AI models to analyze and respond to user messages with medical advice.
• Natural Language Processing: The chatbot is capable of understanding user queries in natural language and providing responses accordingly.
• User-friendly Interface: A simple and intuitive interface allows users to interact with the chatbot, making the experience seamless.
• Customizable Models: You can choose between different AI models depending on your needs and available resources.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Django
• AI Model: OpenAI GPT-4 (or custom models like gpt-4o-mini)
• Frontend: HTML/CSS for basic form inputs and message display
• Database: SQLite (default, but configurable to other databases)
