Today as a developer I returned to my roots with Artificial Intelligence when Open AI announced that they would allow users to customize their own version of a Chatbot to focus on a particular area of expertise like drowning prevention with Water Wise Chatbot. I also merged 6 of those 7 Google Assistant apps into one Chatbot called Pediatric Insights that reflects my experiences in Pediatrics and the most common questions I was asked by families. Missing are all those rare diseases and conditions I would hear about but never saw. You can check the other guy’s Chatbot for all the unexplained stuff. Enjoy!
What is Google Assistant? Check out this video:
Dr. Simonian’s Introduction to the Google Assistant
The Assistant tools are available for historical context and are no longer working apps. Videos are linked to demonstrate their features.
I have been interested in developing software tools that will help families work through concerns they have about their children’s health. As a Google software developer, I decided that the Voice User Interface of the Google Assistant might be a simple way to build resources for families.
I have developed 7 Google Assistant apps and six are especially for families. Drug Dose Helper, Health Companion, Helpful Bandage, Illness Countdown, Illness Guide for Parents and Future is Bright are available today and you can preview them here under Health Apps link above.
If you would like to see a directory of many apps available you can start at the Assistant Directory (https://assistant.google.com/explore/). The apps I have developed will have example YouTube videos to show how they work. Select the individual app name from the drop down menu bar to watch.
