Final Year Project

Project Title

Rehnuma: A Conversational Agent for Women’s Health

Description

The project addresses a social problem and proposes to present an efficient and innovative solution. Given the cultural setting of Pakistan, women often don’t converse about several sensitive topics labelled as taboo such as menstruation, mental health and pregnancy. Due to this, the majority of women remain unaware of societal, mental and physical health issues relevant to them. This project aims to break through the barriers and create a chatbot which would allow women to talk freely about their problems and find solutions. Specifically, the chatbot will focus on the domain of maternity. (Group Project)
