Researchers at the National Institute for Health Innovation are developing a chatbot to answer patients questions after surgery.

The two-year Engagebot project is funded by a Health Research Council Explorer Grant, which support transformative research ideas.

NIHI ehealth and mhealth co-lead Gayl Humphrey says the aim is to determine if creating a chatbot in this area is possible, useful and acceptable to patients.
