Hospital Management System With Chatbot
Hospital Management System With Chatbot
Abstract
Through chatbots one can communicate with text or voice interface and get reply through
artificial intelligence. Typically, a chat bot will communicate with a real person. Chat bots are
used in applications such as ecommerce customer service, call centres and Internet gaming.
Chatbots are programs built to automatically engage with received messages. Chatbots can be
programmed to respond the same way each time, to respond differently to messages containing
certain keywords and even to use machine learning to adapt their responses to fit the situation. A
developing number of hospitals, nursing homes, and even private centres, presently utilize online
Chatbots for human services on their sites. These bots connect with potential patients visiting the
site, helping them discover specialists, booking their appointments, and getting them access to
the correct treatment. In any case, the utilization of artificial intelligence in an industry where
individuals’ lives could be in question, still starts misgivings in individuals. It brings up issues
about whether the task mentioned above ought to be assigned to human staff. This healthcare
chatbot system will help hospitals to provide healthcare support online 24 x 7, it answers deep as
well as general questions. It also helps to generate leads and automatically delivers the
information of leads to sales. By asking the questions in series it helps patients by guiding what
exactly he/she is looking for.
INTRODUCTION
These systems can learn themselves and restore their knowledge using human assistance or
using web resources. This application is incredibly fundamental since knowledge is stored in
advance. The system application uses the question and answer protocol in the form of a chatbot
to answer user queries. This system is developed to reduce the healthcare cost and time of the
users, as it is not possible for the users to visit the doctors or experts when immediately needed
The response to the question will be replied based on the user query and knowledge base.
The significant keywords are fetched from the sentence and answer to those sentences. If the
match is discovered or the significant, answer will be given or similar answers will be displayed
The complex questions and answers present in the database are viewed and answered by an
expert. Here the users can personally ask any questions regarding healthcare, as not much time
will be wasted by the user for consulting a doctor. The input sentence of the chat pattern is stored
in an Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). The chatbot would coordinate the
input sentence from the user
keywords are extracted from the given input sentence and the sentence similarity is found.
The keyword ranking and sentence similarity are found using the N-gram, TF-IDF, and cosine
similarity. The interfaces are standalone built using the PYTHON programming language.
In this project we are designing hospital systems where chatbot will accept symptoms from
patient and then suggest doctor availability date and time for that symptoms. To send SMS to
doctor we need to have mobile service provider without that this service will not work and you
are asking to generate prescription by chatbot but we don’t have diseases and related medicines
to generate prescription so we are not doing this but chatbot will suggest doctor by taking
symptoms from patients.
Modules:
1. User:
Registration: user need to register to get credentials.
Chat with Bot:user can chat with the bot regarding the query

Description
The waterfall Model is a linear sequential flow. In which progress is seen as
flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of software
implementation. This means that any phase in the development process begins
only if the previous phase is complete. The waterfall approach does not define the
process to go back to the previous phase to handle changes in requirement. The
waterfall approach is the earliest approach that was used for software
development.

Application
This system can be used by the multiple peoples to get the
counselling sessions online.
To implement this project we have designed following modules
What is Python :-
Below are some facts about Python.
Programmers have to type relatively less and indentation requirement of the language,
makes them readable all the time.
Python language is being used by almost all tech-giant companies like – Google,
Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Uber… etc.
The biggest strength of Python is huge collection of standard library which can be used
for the following –
Machine Learning
GUI Applications (like Kivy, Tkinter, PyQt etc. )
Web frameworks like Django (used by YouTube, Instagram, Dropbox)
Image processing (like Opencv, Pillow)
Web scraping (like Scrapy, BeautifulSoup, Selenium)
Test frameworks
Multimedia
Advantages of Python :-
1. Extensive Libraries
Python downloads with an extensive library and it contain code for various
purposes like regular expressions, documentation-generation, unit-testing,
web browsers, threading, databases, CGI, email, image manipulation, and
more. So, we don’t have to write the complete code for that manually.
2. Extensible
3. Embeddable
4. Improved Productivity
5. IOT Opportunities
Since Python forms the basis of new platforms like Raspberry Pi, it finds the
future bright for the Internet Of Things. This is a way to connect the
language with the real world.
6. Simple and Easy
When working with Java, you may have to create a class to print ‘Hello
World’. But in Python, just a print statement will do. It is also quite easy
to learn, understand, and code. This is why when people pick up Python,
they have a hard time adjusting to other more verbose languages like Java.
7. Readable
8. Object-Oriented
Like we said earlier, Python is freely available. But not only can
you download Python for free, but you can also download its source code,
make changes to it, and even distribute it. It downloads with an extensive
collection of libraries to help you with your tasks.
10. Portable
When you code your project in a language like C++, you may need to make
some changes to it if you want to run it on another platform. But it isn’t
the same with Python. Here, you need to code only once, and you can run
it anywhere. This is called Write Once Run Anywhere (WORA). However,
you need to be careful enough not to include any system-dependent
features.
11. Interpreted
1. Less Coding
Almost all of the tasks done in Python requires less coding when the same
task is done in other languages. Python also has an awesome standard
library support, so you don’t have to search for any third-party libraries to
get your job done. This is the reason that many people suggest learning
Python to beginners.
2. Affordable
The 2019 Github annual survey showed us that Python has overtaken
Java in the most popular programming language category.
3. Python is for Everyone
Python code can run on any machine whether it is Linux, Mac or Windows.
Programmers need to learn different languages for different jobs but with
Python, you can professionally build web apps, perform data analysis
and machine learning, automate things, do web scraping and also build
games and powerful visualizations. It is an all-rounder programming
language.
Disadvantages of Python
So far, we’ve seen why Python is a great choice for your project. But if you
choose it, you should be aware of its consequences as well. Let’s now see
the downsides of choosing Python over another language.
1. Speed Limitations
We have seen that Python code is executed line by line. But since Python is
interpreted, it often results in slow execution. This, however, isn’t a
problem unless speed is a focal point for the project. In other words, unless
high speed is a requirement, the benefits offered by Python are enough to
distract us from its speed limitations.
5. Simple
No, we’re not kidding. Python’s simplicity can indeed be a problem. Take my
example. I don’t do Java, I’m more of a Python person. To me, its syntax is
so simple that the verbosity of Java code seems unnecessary.
History of Python : -
What do the alphabet and the programming language Python have in common? Right, both
start with ABC. If we are talking about ABC in the Python context, it's clear that the
programming language ABC is meant. ABC is a general-purpose programming language and
programming environment, which had been developed in the Netherlands, Amsterdam, at the
CWI (Centrum Wiskunde &Informatica). The greatest achievement of ABC was to influence
the design of Python.Python was conceptualized in the late 1980s. Guido van Rossum
worked that time in a project at the CWI, called Amoeba, a distributed operating system. In
an interview with Bill Venners1, Guido van Rossum said: "In the early 1980s, I worked as an
implementer on a team building a language called ABC at Centrum voor Wiskunde en
Informatica (CWI). I don't know how well people know ABC's influence on Python. I try to
mention ABC's influence because I'm indebted to everything I learned during that project
and to the people who worked on it."Later on in the same Interview, Guido van Rossum
continued: "I remembered all my experience and some of my frustration with ABC. I
decided to try to design a simple scripting language that possessed some of ABC's better
properties, but without its problems. So I started typing. I created a simple virtual machine, a
simple parser, and a simple runtime. I made my own version of the various ABC parts that I
liked. I created a basic syntax, used indentation for statement grouping instead of curly
braces or begin-end blocks, and developed a small number of powerful data types: a hash
table (or dictionary, as we call it), a list, strings, and numbers."
Human beings, at this moment, are the most intelligent and advanced
species on earth because they can think, evaluate and solve complex
problems. On the other side, AI is still in its initial stage and haven’t
surpassed human intelligence in many aspects. Then the question is that
what is the need to make machine learn? The most suitable reason for
doing this is, “to make decisions, based on data, with efficiency and scale”.
Machine Learning is the most rapidly growing technology and according to researchers we
are in the golden year of AI and ML. It is used to solve many real-world complex problems
which cannot be solved with traditional approach. Following are some real-world applications
of ML −
Emotion analysis
Sentiment analysis
Speech synthesis
Speech recognition
Customer segmentation
Object recognition
Fraud detection
Fraud prevention
Recommendation of products to customer in online shopping
Arthur Samuel coined the term “Machine Learning” in 1959 and defined it
as a “Field of study that gives computers the capability to learn without
being explicitly programmed”.
And that was the beginning of Machine Learning! In modern times, Machine
Learning is one of the most popular (if not the most!) career choices.
According to Indeed, Machine Learning Engineer Is The Best Job of 2019
with a 344% growth and an average base salary of $146,085 per year.
But there is still a lot of doubt about what exactly is Machine Learning and
how to start learning it? So this article deals with the Basics of Machine
Learning and also the path you can follow to eventually become a full-
fledged Machine Learning Engineer. Now let’s get started!!!
In case you are a genius, you could start ML directly but normally, there are
some prerequisites that you need to know which include Linear Algebra,
Multivariate Calculus, Statistics, and Python. And if you don’t know these,
never fear! You don’t need a Ph.D. degree in these topics to get started but
you do need a basic understanding.
(a) Learn Linear Algebra and Multivariate Calculus
Data plays a huge role in Machine Learning. In fact, around 80% of your
time as an ML expert will be spent collecting and cleaning data. And
statistics is a field that handles the collection, analysis, and presentation of
data. So it is no surprise that you need to learn it!!!
Some of the key concepts in statistics that are important are Statistical
Significance, Probability Distributions, Hypothesis Testing, Regression, etc.
Also, Bayesian Thinking is also a very important part of ML which deals with
various concepts like Conditional Probability, Priors, and Posteriors,
Maximum Likelihood, etc.
Now that you are done with the prerequisites, you can move on to actually
learning ML (Which is the fun part!!!) It’s best to start with the basics and
then move on to the more complicated stuff. Some of the basic concepts in
ML are:
Model – A model is a specific representation learned from data by applying some machine
learning algorithm. A model is also called a hypothesis.
Feature – A feature is an individual measurable property of the data. A set of numeric
features can be conveniently described by a feature vector. Feature vectors are fed as input to
the model. For example, in order to predict a fruit, there may be features like color, smell,
taste, etc.
Target (Label) – A target variable or label is the value to be predicted by our model. For the
fruit example discussed in the feature section, the label with each set of input would be the
name of the fruit like apple, orange, banana, etc.
Training – The idea is to give a set of inputs(features) and it’s expected outputs(labels), so
after training, we will have a model (hypothesis) that will then map new data to one of the
categories trained on.
Prediction – Once our model is ready, it can be fed a set of inputs to which it will provide a
predicted output(label).
(b) Types of Machine Learning
Supervised Learning – This involves learning from a training dataset with labeled data using
classification and regression models. This learning process continues until the required level of
performance is achieved.
Unsupervised Learning – This involves using unlabelled data and then finding the underlying
structure in the data in order to learn more and more about the data itself using factor and
cluster analysis models.
Semi-supervised Learning – This involves using unlabelled data like Unsupervised Learning
with a small amount of labeled data. Using labeled data vastly increases the learning accuracy
and is also more cost-effective than Supervised Learning.
Reinforcement Learning – This involves learning optimal actions through trial and error. So
the next action is decided by learning behaviors that are based on the current state and that will
maximize the reward in the future.
Advantages of Machine learning :-
Machine Learning can review large volumes of data and discover specific trends and patterns
that would not be apparent to humans. For instance, for an e-commerce website like Amazon, it
serves to understand the browsing behaviors and purchase histories of its users to help cater to
the right products, deals, and reminders relevant to them. It uses the results to reveal relevant
advertisements to them.
With ML, you don’t need to babysit your project every step of the way. Since it means giving
machines the ability to learn, it lets them make predictions and also improve the algorithms on
their own. A common example of this is anti-virus softwares; they learn to filter new threats as
they are recognized. ML is also good at recognizing spam.
3. Continuous Improvement
As ML algorithms gain experience, they keep improving in accuracy and efficiency. This lets
them make better decisions. Say you need to make a weather forecast model. As the amount of
data you have keeps growing, your algorithms learn to make more accurate predictions faster.
Machine Learning algorithms are good at handling data that are multi-dimensional and multi-
variety, and they can do this in dynamic or uncertain environments.
5. Wide Applications
You could be an e-tailer or a healthcare provider and make ML work for you. Where it does
apply, it holds the capability to help deliver a much more personal experience to customers
while also targeting the right customers.
1. Data Acquisition
Machine Learning requires massive data sets to train on, and these should be
inclusive/unbiased, and of good quality. There can also be times where they must wait for new
data to be generated.
ML needs enough time to let the algorithms learn and develop enough to fulfill
their purpose with a considerable amount of accuracy and relevancy. It also
needs massive resources to function. This can mean additional requirements
of computer power for you.
3. Interpretation of Results
Another major challenge is the ability to accurately interpret results generated by the
algorithms. You must also carefully choose the algorithms for your purpose.
4. High error-susceptibility
Machine Learning is autonomous but highly susceptible to errors. Suppose you train an
algorithm with data sets small enough to not be inclusive. You end up with biased predictions
coming from a biased training set. This leads to irrelevant advertisements being displayed to
customers. In the case of ML, such blunders can set off a chain of errors that can go undetected
for long periods of time. And when they do get noticed, it takes quite some time to recognize
the source of the issue, and even longer to correct it.
Guido Van Rossum published the first version of Python code (version 0.9.0) at alt.sources in
February 1991. This release included already exception handling, functions, and the core data
types of list, dict, str and others. It was also object oriented and had a module system.
Python version 1.0 was released in January 1994. The major new features included in this
release were the functional programming tools lambda, map, filter and reduce, which Guido
Van Rossum never liked.Six and a half years later in October 2000, Python 2.0 was
introduced. This release included list comprehensions, a full garbage collector and it was
supporting unicode.Python flourished for another 8 years in the versions 2.x before the next
major release as Python 3.0 (also known as "Python 3000" and "Py3K") was released. Python
3 is not backwards compatible with Python 2.x. The emphasis in Python 3 had been on the
removal of duplicate programming constructs and modules, thus fulfilling or coming close to
fulfilling the 13th law of the Zen of Python: "There should be one -- and preferably only one --
obvious way to do it."Some changes in Python 7.3:
Purpose :-
Python
Python features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. It supports
multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative, functional and
procedural, and has a large and comprehensive standard library.
Python is Interpreted − Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter. You do not need to
compile your program before executing it. This is similar to PERL and PHP.
Python is Interactive − you can actually sit at a Python prompt and interact with the
interpreter directly to write your programs.
Python also acknowledges that speed of development is important. Readable and terse
code is part of this, and so is access to powerful constructs that avoid tedious repetition of
code. Maintainability also ties into this may be an all but useless metric, but it does say
something about how much code you have to scan, read and/or understand to
troubleshoot problems or tweak behaviors. This speed of development, the ease with
which a programmer of other languages can pick up basic Python skills and the huge
standard library is key to another area where Python excels. All its tools have been quick to
implement, saved a lot of time, and several of them have later been patched and updated
by people with no Python background - without breaking.
Modules Used in Project :-
Tensorflow
TensorFlow was developed by the Google Brain team for internal Google
use. It was released under the Apache 2.0 open-source license on November
9, 2015.
Numpy
It is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python. It contains various
features including these important ones:
Pandas
Matplotlib
Scikit – learn

6.SYSTEM TEST
The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of trying to discover every
conceivable fault or weakness in a work product. It provides a way to check the functionality of
components, sub assemblies, assemblies and/or a finished product It is the process of exercising
software with the intent of ensuring that the Software system meets its requirements and user
expectations and does not fail in an unacceptable manner. There are various types of test. Each
test type addresses a specific testing requirement.
TYPES OF TESTS
Unit testing
Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal
program logic is functioning properly, and that program inputs produce valid outputs. All
decision branches and internal code flow should be validated. It is the testing of individual
software units of the application .it is done after the completion of an individual unit before
integration. This is a structural testing, that relies on knowledge of its construction and is
invasive. Unit tests perform basic tests at component level and test a specific business process,
application, and/or system configuration. Unit tests ensure that each unique path of a business
process performs accurately to the documented specifications and contains clearly defined inputs
and expected results.
Integration testing
Integration tests are designed to test integrated software components to
determine if they actually run as one program. Testing is event driven and is more concerned
with the basic outcome of screens or fields. Integration tests demonstrate that although the
components were individually satisfaction, as shown by successfully unit testing, the
combination of components is correct and consistent. Integration testing is specifically aimed at
exposing the problems that arise from the combination of components.
Functional test
Functional tests provide systematic demonstrations that functions tested are
available as specified by the business and technical requirements, system documentation, and
user manuals.
Functional testing is centered on the following items:
System Test
System testing ensures that the entire integrated software system meets
requirements. It tests a configuration to ensure known and predictable results. An example of
system testing is the configuration oriented system integration test. System testing is based on
process descriptions and flows, emphasizing pre-driven process links and integration points.
Unit testing is usually conducted as part of a combined code and unit test phase
of the software lifecycle, although it is not uncommon for coding and unit testing to be
conducted as two distinct phases.
Field testing will be performed manually and functional tests will be written in
detail.
Test objectives
All field entries must work properly.
Pages must be activated from the identified link.
The entry screen, messages and responses must not be delayed.
Features to be tested
Verify that the entries are of the correct format
No duplicate entries should be allowed
All links should take the user to the correct page.
Integration Testing
Software integration testing is the incremental integration testing of two or more
integrated software components on a single platform to produce failures caused by interface
defects.
The task of the integration test is to check that components or software applications, e.g.
components in a software system or – one step up – software applications at the company level –
interact without error.
Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects encountered.
Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing is a critical phase of any project and requires significant participation
by the end user. It also ensures that the system meets the functional requirements.
Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects encountered.
