Pakistan has introduced an innovative healthcare AI chatbot aimed at assisting individuals with hypertension. Known as the Heart Line Chatbot, this tool was unveiled during the 27th Annual Conference of the Pakistan Hypertension League (PHL) on Monday.
Developed as part of the Discovering Hypertension initiative, the chatbot targets the 32.5 million people in Pakistan affected by high blood pressure, offering essential information and treatment guidance.
Currently, only 11% of those with hypertension in Pakistan effectively manage their condition. Health experts have lauded the chatbot, a collaboration between Discovering Hypertension and the League, for its potential to tackle this significant health concern.
At the launch, Prof. Fawad Farooq from the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) stated:
For the people with high blood pressure in Pakistan, this AI-powered chatbot is a game-changer. Patients will gain instant access to information about managing hypertension and its treatment, giving them a sense of empowerment.
The Heart Line Chatbot assist patients and healthcare professionals.
Individuals can contact the Heart Line Chatbot on WhatsApp at 0334-7777996 To learn more about high blood pressure. The chatbot will connect users with nearby hypertension specialists and clinics for treatment.
Digital solutions like the Heart Line Chatbot provide a hopeful way to tackle the rise of non-communicable diseases in Pakistan.
