Machine learning (ML) is a study of computer algorithms for automation through experience. ML is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that develops computer systems, which are able to perform tasks generally having need of human intelligence. While healthcare communication is important in order to tactfully translate and disseminate information to support and educate patients and public, ML is proven applicable in healthcare with the ability for complex dialogue management and conversational flexibility. In this topical review, we will highlight how the application of ML/AI in healthcare communication is able to benefit humans. This includes chatbots for the COVID-19 health education, cancer therapy, and medical imaging.

“…To make the chatbot look more human-like, it is necessary to overcome this limitation both during sentiment understanding and facial animation. While we independently animate only the mouth and the eyebrows, extending the same to the nose, eyes and forehead could allow for a greater degree of expression utilizing a greater variety of visual cues [8].…”

Facial animation is quickly becoming an important feature of virtual assistants and is gaining traction as the preferred communication technique between man and machine. In addition to lip movement, facial expressions such as those of the eyes and cheeks help in conveying the sentiment and context of what is being spoken. This paper aims to present a new methodology to create an emotionally expressive virtual AI that is capable of understanding the sentiment of the conversation and displaying emotions during conversations. To achieve this the system uses a generative chatbot and combines it with a 3D talking head that is animated parametrically. This work could be beneficial to virtual assistants and help facilitate more lifelike interactions, holding significance in environments that require the user to feel more comfortable with their interactions. The complexities lie in developing a domain specific chat-bot that will not only provide valuable replies but also recognize and display appropriate facial expressions while communicating.
