In this age of technology, with digital devices being accessible by almost everyone, have made our lives much better. With the advent of Machine Learning and advanced algorithms at our tips, the applications are immensurate. Such an application can be found in the health-care sector. The need for better and accessible health-care is of immense precedence. In this paper, we employed Machine Learning algorithms like Logistic Regression and other state of the art techniques to predict diabetes, given patient data. Diabetes is an incessant condition that is affecting millions worldwide, every year. Early detection of diabetes and prompt diagnosis is crucial. We have addressed that using a chat-bot to predict diabetes, which we believe is a portable and accessible solution for first-level assessment. We have employed PIMA Indian Diabetes Dataset into our chat-bot, providing interactive medical advice, and enhancing patient engagement, using Telegram API, resulting in an accuracy of 77%.
