Ramsay, the chatbot to take control of our health

No, Ramsay is not a character from Game of Thrones, but a chatbot (understand a robot with whom you can talk by message). Created by the Ramsay General Health Foundation, this tool available via Messenger allows you to take charge of health issues:tobacco, diet and stress. And it's very fun. In the form of a program, each theme is led by a coach. So we have Max to help people who want to quit smoking, Tara for those who want to rebalance their diet, and Franz to help those who are subject to stress.

A custom program

The advantage of this chatbot is that each program adapts to the person. Whether it is to quit smoking or to relearn how to eat, a series of questions will be asked beforehand in order to be able to offer solutions and tips that will best suit our lifestyle. Whether it's Max, Tara or Franz, the bot will define our smoking profile, our relationship to food or our sources of stress, so that it can then better support us. Whatever the program chosen, we then receive messages regularly (every day or every week, it is up to us to configure it) to have new tips and see our progress. And as soon as a question comes to mind, we can ask the coaches who will answer it with as much detail as possible, because this chatbot is made in collaboration with real doctors.

So, ready to take the plunge?
