Chatbot in isiXhosa for Remote Pre/post-Natal Care

Abstract

In this work we present the development of an isiXhosa ChatBot, a ChatBot developed for pre and postnatal care in the Southern African language of isiXhosa. Multiple implementations of User Interfaces were developed - notably the Android Mobile Application Implementation and the WhatsApp Integration Implementation. We deem this as an enabler for providing first-hand health-care advisors in remote African communities.
