We demonstrate Ally -a prototype interface for a consumer-level medical diagnostic device. It is an interactive virtual character, -Virtual Human (VH), -that listens to users concern, collects and processes sensor data, offers advice, guides the user through a self-administered medical tests, and answers the users questions. The primary focus of this demo is on the VH, we describe and demonstrate the technologies for language analysis, dialogue management, response generation and presentation. The sensing and medical decision making components are simulated in the current system, but possible applications and extensions are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
