Conversational Chatbots: Revolutionizing Healthcare by Breaking Language Barriers and Improving Medication Adherence
Medication non-adherence presents a significant public health issue, affecting millions of individuals worldwide and leading to at least 100,000 preventable deaths annually.[1] It also imposes a substantial financial burden, resulting in billions of dollars in unnecessary medical expenses each year.[2] Amidst the various obstacles that lead to medication non-adherence, language barriers add an additional layer of complexity. However, emerging technologies, such as conversational chatbots powered by artificial intelligence (AI), offer a promising solution to bridge this language gap and achieve better health outcomes.
