FUTURE FEATURES<br />

CHATBOTS<br />

Alpha.MD is currently researching on chatbots and looking to integrate them into its ecosystem in the nearest future. The<br />

chatbots, through artificial intelligence and sets of rules, would be designed to simulate how a typical consultation with a<br />

physician would go. If the opinion of an actual physician is required, the chatbots would refer you to the best match based<br />

on the diagnosis, else it would make a diagnosis and recommend drugs. The chatbots would also through machine learning,<br />

study trends of the patient and periodically interact by making suggestions. This feature would relieve physicians from doing<br />

minor tasks.<br />

DRONE DELIVERIES<br />

This would be Alpha.MD’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that would be used to transport medical supplies to patients<br />

especially to remote and inaccessible regions. They can also be used to retrieve samples for our mobile phlebotomy service.<br />

This would enable Alpha.MD to deliver products faster, easier and cheaper thereby allowing it to reach more patients in the<br />

ecosystem.<br />

AMBULANCE DRONES<br />

Alpha.MD intends to partner with some student innovators from TU Delft to deliver to Africa the Ambulance-Drone, a high<br />

speed drone network that delivers emergency supplies to any location within minutes. Though this product is still a<br />

prototype, Alpha.MD is closely monitoring the progress and actively researching in its own technology for this.<br />
