<h2>Millennial Parents Said</h2> <p>People are conversing with chatbots that use AI to compare symptoms against a database of diseases, patient history and circumstances, then recommend a course of action.聽 For the second year in a row, IEEE asked Millennial parents across the globe how likely they would be to use an AI and speech recognition-powered chatbot to diagnose their sick Generation Alpha child.</p> <ul> <li>More than nine out of 10 parents in China (95%) say they are likely to use an AI chatbot to diagnose their sick child in the future, up from 85% in 2018, including more than half (53%) saying they are “extremely” likely.聽 Likewise, in India, 87% say they are likely to use an AI chatbot for their child鈥檚 diagnosis in 2019 with 60% saying they are “extremely” likely, up significantly from 2018 (38%).</li> <li>In the U.K., parents are more likely in 2019 (53%) than in 2018 (50%) to use this technology to diagnose their child, while U.S. parents continue not to be very likely (51 percent in 2019 as compared to 52% in 2018) to use this technology to diagnose their child.</li> </ul> </div> <div class="content-creator-quote"> <blockquote> <p>“The benefit of using a chatbot is that a parent can get ideas about what is wrong with their child and suggestions on ways to treat them without having to wait to see a doctor or other health provider. If the chatbot can then help to refer parents with more seriously sick children to professional help it can be an important element in future health care.”</p> <footer> <div class="img-holder with-image"><div class="inner"><img src="https://transmitter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/tom-coughlin-200x200.jpg" alt="Tom Coughlin" /></div></div> <cite><strong>Tom Coughlin</strong><br />2024 IEEE President</cite> </footer> </blockquote> <a href="https://transmitter.ieee.org/author/tom-coughlin/" class="readmore">Read more about this IEEE Impact Creator <i class="fa fa-long-arrow-alt-right"></i></a> </div> </div> <div class="cta-holder"> <a class="readmore-cta external " href="https://pulse.embs.org/may-2019/health-care-chatbots-are-here-to-help/"> <div class="circle"> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" alt="" /> </div> <div class="logo" style="background-image:url(https://transmitter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/logo-ieee-pulse.gif);"></div> <h2>Health Care Chatbots Are Here to Help</h2> <span>Read More</span> </a> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div class="bottom-nav"> <a class="prev-link" href="https://transmitter.ieee.org/health-2019/ai-for-cancer/"><i class="fa fa-reply"></i><span>Previous</span></a><a class="home-link" href="https://transmitter.ieee.org/health-2019/"><i class="fa fa-home"></i><span>Home</span></a><a class="next-link" href="https://transmitter.ieee.org/health-2019/3d-printed-heart/"><span>Next</span><i class="fa fa-share"></i></a> </div> </div> </section> </div>  <footer class="site-footer"> <div class="wrapper"> <p class="nav"> <a href="/">Home</a>  <a href="http://www.ieee.org/sitemap.html" target="_blank" >Sitemap</a> <a href="http://www.ieee.org/about/contact_center/index.html" target="_blank" >Contact & Support</a> <a href="http://www.ieee.org/accessibility_statement.html" target="_blank" >Accessibility</a> <a href="http://www.ieee.org/p9-26.html" target="_blank" >Nondiscrimination</a> <a href="http://www.ieee.org/security_privacy.html" target="_blank" >Policy Privacy & Opting Out of Cookies</a> <a href="http://www.ieee.org/about/feedback_ieee_site.html" target="_blank" >Feedback</a> </p> <p>© Copyright 2024 IEEE - All rights reserved.
