The Chatbot is a software programs that is used to interact with clients using natural language Processing via text or text to speech format. Today in the present era, the major challenges that India as a country is facing is to cater good quality and affordable healthcare services to its growing population and at the same time, they are not cost efficient. Nowadays, it is becoming very difficult to provide healthcare facilities as we have seen in COVID-19 critical situations that the condition in India was getting worse because of lack of transportation, availability of doctors and hospitality. Sometimes it causes the people to postpone their treatment as well as there is an increment in death count. The aim of our Project is to design a Conversational AI Powered Chatbot for Medical Diagnostics using Deep Learning which mainly focuses on rural parts as well as poor and needy people of our country. Our System has the capability to understand the symptoms of the patient and communicates with Patient (End-user) through web-UI. Our system tries to solve their problem with the help of the symptoms provided by Patient itself and help them to give the correct antibiotics/ medicines and precautions. NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit) is a module/ program in python which can able to perform symbolic and statistical Natural Language Processing for English written in Programming. It is used to analyze the input in the form of speech and generate responses that are similar to humans.
