ChatDoc your personal AI doctor.

- Hybrid of for-profit and nonprofit
We are aimed at solving the issue of poor health worldwide.
In most communities all across the continents, there are multiple healthcare problems such as lack of healthcare facilities, ignorance on chronic diseases and their associated symptoms, exorbitant medical expenses and absent doctors. These issues are major contributors to the poor health problems we find in society today which affect vulnerable populations, and undeserved regions.
Addressing these interconnected issues is necessary for the establishment of health equity and general wellbeing in individuals globally.
To deal with these major problems, we have built ChatDoc, a web-based AI doctor chatbot built to provide healthcare attendance to individuals from any part of the world.
ChatDoc works by accepting messages from a user, an example would be a person describing health symptoms, and prescribes remedies on how to deal with their associated diseases as well as providing medical advice.
This software is made to be user friendly and interactive providing an engaging experience like that of a human doctor.
My solution serves as an avenue for providing health equity to individuals worldwide improving healthcare access for those facing financial constraints, absent healthcare facilities, and health illiteracy.
ChatDoc is also targeted to remote communities in Africa and a few in Asia as well. Healthcare facilities and technology are mostly uncommon in these areas, but ChatDoc will be provided to their various community heads, to make further decisions and perform diagnostics with it serving as a guide or personal assistant to even a person who lacks medical training hence, accelerating health in those communities.
On a global scale, ChatDoc will be available to all individuals serving as a healthcare assistant in their daily lives, equipped with providing health tips medical advice, therapy, and further diagnostics hence. By providing a healthcare assistant, we're improving the quality of life of the average individual.
Our team consists of individuals with a robust engineering skillset which spans across different fields of technology making them adept at providing the technical requirements to our solution.
Upon our journey, with our communication and networking skills, we've been able to establish meaningful connections with individuals both in our industry, and our target population. This is evident to our ability to deliver our solution on a global scale to consumers with diverse cultures.
Also, our team consists of individuals who are residents in a few target locations, easing out on the process of establishing a presence in that part of the world.
- Increase access to and quality of health services for medically underserved groups around the world (such as refugees and other displaced people, women and children, older adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals).

- Pilot
At this stage, ChatDoc has been tested and equipped with the ability to determine what disease a person's symptoms may be associated with based on a few diseases it has been trained on. After, it provides remedies on how to deal with their associated diseases as well as providing medical advice.
ChatDoc is still undergoing further improvements and reviews and is partly out on the market, but not making revenue.
We've served over 100 customers in our current stage, with positive feedback returns.
I live in a country where there's no good eye for talent or innovation. With its poor economy I am financially constrained, and with its culture I don't have the freedom or support to work on my innovative ideas to support lives and drive change.
I applied because I believe this program can leverage me to greater heights and opportunities, to fully implement my innovative ideas and technologies.
I am overly passionate about making the world a better place with my technologies. And with these granted opportunities, I know I can achieve that.

My solution will help improve general health and well-being by providing healthcare equity, information and attendance to individuals worldwide.
Based on some research, consulting and metrics, we've been able to estimate that our product will have an impact on the problem.
1. According to real time data, approximately six in ten adults globally have searched for health-related information on the internet in the past year. Google is said to have 7 billion health-related searches each day accounting for 7% of its daily searches.
We're providing a service which is expected to attract some percentage of that audience by providing clearer and more detailed health information to individuals.
2. I had a meeting with a potential partner, at which he narrated a story which described a lady whose husband was ill and was in pain. She hadn't any clue what his illness might be associated with, where to find help, or how to provide first aid. Only after a long line of suffering of her husband was, she able to find help in a distant place which included travel costs.
He was interested in my solution because it fills up gaps like these, by providing information on what disease described symptoms may be associated with, as well as remedies or first aid advice on how to deal with them.

My solution is web-based primarily powered by artificial intelligence and available to all in every country. Artificial Intelligence has become a backbone powering the greatest technologies improving lives today.
Artificial Intelligence is the ability of a machine or system to think and act on its own by making predictions, performing tasks and providing vital information without any human assistance.
Artificial Intelligence is broadly partitioned into many sub-categories such as Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Natural Language processing involves the use of computational techniques to process and analyze language data to gain meaningful understanding of the data. Machine Learning involves the use of complex algorithms to train systems to recognize patterns in provided data, in order to make accurate predictions.
My AI software combines these two, in order to arrive at outcomes to healthcare solutions. After training on text disease datasets, our model has the ability to determine what diseases a person's symptoms may be associated with. And with many other features and abilities still waiting to be implemented with the required support.

I plan to raise revenue by reaching out to investors to raise capital. I've reached out to a few investors, with one actually interested in my product and is currently pending.
Selling my services part time for companies in order to raise capital is also part of my strategy to raise capital. I've gotten a potential hire in a healthtech company already, interested in a few of my software solutions.
Also, I plan to sell minor software products that I build, in order to add up to my revenue stream. I currently have a software for dental image diagnostics that I plan to sell to a dental AI company.
