In partnership with Shoreline Health, engineering students at Johns Hopkins designed OncoBot, a Chatbot providing empathetic and trustworthy information about cancer to patients and their families. Empowering patients to have complete information about their treatment, OncoBot also points them towards community resources and summarizes any document with jargon that they don’t understand. OncoBot provides information that can be shared with patients and their caregivers in multiple languages and accessible formats.
