Inspiration

We try to approach children by creating a discord bot that gives them a first simple test to know if they could be positive for CoVid-19. Reactions is a special interaction that discord application has, so we try to dig into this feature to create our bot and so, make it more interactive than a common question-answer survey.

What it does

Our bot has basically 3 commands, with the "!covid" command being the most important one. The bot will ask the user a few questions about his symptoms and other stuff and, from the gathered data, he will try to predict a preliminary approach for CoVid-19 test.

How I built it

With the dataset given we built by machine learning techniques a model which the bot will use to predict.

Challenges I ran into

  • Understanding medical data.
  • Cleaning and interfering the data.
  • Choose hyperparameters for our model.
  • Learning about discord API.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Even if our initial teammates left us, we managed to do something with a reduced number of people.

What I learned

You can't trust everyone c:

What's next for paediatric patient discord bot predict

More large data to get a more accurate prediction, an improvement of the bot interface so it is easier and funnier to do the survey and also make the bot more efficient and useful (such as giving the nearest CAP location in case of positive CoVid-19 test)

Forgot to mention that we built two models because we have seen that patients with morbidities have very much different symptoms than healthier children. It is curious that in the case of children with morbidities our model has a prediction error of 5% while the other model has an 11% prediction error. These results aren't 100% reliable since the data set, in our opinion, is not rich enough.
