The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a COVID-19 assessment bot that can quickly assess the symptoms and risk factors for people worried about infection, provide information and suggest a next course of action such as contacting a medical provider or, for those who do not need in-person medical care, managing the illness safely at home.
The assessment bot utilizes Microsoft's Healthcare Bot service powered by Microsoft Azure to help organizations on the frontlines of the COVID-19 response to help screen patients for potential infection and care. The bot will initially be available on the CDC website.
