Abstract

The purpose is to develop, test and fast-track a national implementation of a chatbot for COVID-19 related questions. The primary purpose is to provide updated evidence-based online information for the citizens on how to handle COVID-19 suspect symptoms and provide relevant information on when and where to call for further medical advice or assistance. The secondary purpose is to reduce the call volume and workload on medical helplines like 1-1-2, the medical helpline 1813, out-of-hours services and the general practitioners. Finally, the chatbot will be able to deliver scientific data identifying the dissemination of COVID-19 in the general population.
