Call for code starter kit | Build a COVID-19 communication chatbot

Mar 27, 2020

To get started, visit http://ibm.biz/cfc-commskit

As COVID-19 affects communities around the world, communications systems have been stretched to capacity with people trying to find basic information around resources, testing, symptoms, and treatment. When communication methods lag, people who need real help can't get access to it. In these cases, chatbots can be an invaluable tool that provides help responding to potentially hundreds of thousands of messages each day.

To address immediate needs around crisis communication, our team built a chatbot that users can access on a website. The solution connects to Slack, and a voice-enabled chatbot that is connected to Node-RED. The chatbot can even retrieve COVID news through Watson Discovery and query trusted data sources for COVID infection statistics. This starter kit gets developers started using Watson Assistant and shows them how basic workflows would work between the user and backend technology.

Those who take this starter kit forward will have a strong foundation to incorporate publicly available data, subject matter expertise and further API integrations to create a more complete and robust solution.

Should I get a test for COVID-19? Am I at risk? There are still a lot of lingering questions about the virus that causes COVID-19. Dr. Peter McGough, family physician and head of the UW Neighborhood Clinics, provides clarity. The most important thing, he said, in the fight against the virus is to stay home.

"What we do now in terms of social distancing, quarantining and other measures is one of the most important things we can do now," he said. "As incredibly boring as staying home can become especially if you’ve got small kids or live alone, it’s very boring, but it’s absolutely lifesaving for everyone else and yourself."

What is a ventilator and why is there a shortage?

Mar 27, 2020

Ventilators are machines that deliver breaths of oxygenated air to patients who are unable to breathe sufficiently on their own, while also removing carbon dioxide from their lungs. There are an estimated 160,000 ventilators in the US. That's usually enough to serve everyone that needs one, but in the case of the coronavirus pandemic, it's a severe shortage. Companies including General Motors, Ford and Tesla are offering their help, but will that help come in time?
